Where's the supplies...??

An Italian, an Irishman and a Chinese fellow are hired at a construction site.
The foreman points out a huge pile of sand and says to the Italian
guy, "You're in charge of sweeping."

To the Irishman he says, "You're in charge of shoveling."

And to the Chinese guy, "You're in charge of supplies."

He then says: "Now, I have to leave for a little while. I expect
you guys to make a dent in that there pile of sand."

So the foreman goes away for a couple hours, and when he
returns, the pile of sand is untouched.

He says to the Italian, "Why didn't you sweep any of it?"

The Italian replies in a heavy accent, "I Gotta no broom. You say
the Chinese-a guy thata he was in-a charge of-a supplies, but he
no here, he has a disappeared and I could no find-a him."

Then the foreman turns to the Irishman and asks
"Didn't I leave you in charge of shoveling, why didn't you shovel?"

The Irishman replies in his heavy brogue, "Aye, ye did, lad.
But I could not find meself a shovel. Ye left the Chinese guy in charge
of supplies, but I counna fin' that lad either."

The foreman is really angry now, and yells
"Where in hell is that Chinese guy?"

Just then, the Chinese fellow jumps from behind the pile of sand
and yells......."Supplies!"
