Three Pressure Washer Contractors died and went to heaven. When they got there St. Peter welcomed them warmly and asked if they could do him a favor before they entered heaven. It seems that the Pearly gates were in need of some cleaning, and he wanted some estimates.
The first contractor looked the job over carefully and estimated the job at $600. When asked how he came up with that figure, he said, "$200 materials, $200 labor, and $200 profit."
St. Peter then asked the 2nd contractor for an estimate. After careful inspection the 2nd contractor answered, "$3000 - $1000 materials, $1000 labor, and $1000 profit."
When St. Peter asked the 3rd contractor for an estimate, he answered immediately without looking over the job at all - $2600. Asked how he came up with that figure he answered, "Simple, $1000 for you, $1000 for me, and $600 to get the low-baller over there to do the work."
