Two construction workers were on site together.
One got too close to the saw he was working on and accidentally cut his ear off! It fell in the sawdust pit, so he jumped down into the pit and began hunting around trying to find it.
The second guy saw him and asked, “What’re you doing?”
The first man explained what had happened and that he was now looking for his ear.
The second guy said, “I’ll help you,” and jumped into the pit. He was searching around on his hands and knees for a while before exclaiming, “I found it!”
The first guy took the ear and examined it closely. He then said, “Keep looking. Mine had a pencil behind it.”
