Sappy and Tranny are digging a deep hole while Gilligan stands at the
top of the hole and gives them orders. The slightly more intelligent Tranny
asks, "Why are we digging while he stands up there and does nothing?"
"I dunno," says the slightly less intelligent Sappy, and climbs
up out of the hole to ask Gilligan the same question.
"Well," says Gilligan, "I've got a thing called 'brains', which
you wouldn't know anything about, and that's why I'm the foreman and you're
the laborer."
"What are brains?" asks Sappy.
"I'll show you," answers Gilligan, placing his hand against a
tree. "I want you to hit my hand as hard as you can." Sappy winds up
and swings, but Gilligan pulls his hand away at the last second and
Sappy ends up with bloody knuckles. "That's brains," says Gilligan, "so
get back to work."
Sappy nods and descends into the hole, where he leans on his
shovel and begins instructing Tranny where to dig, and how fast.
"Why do you get to give me orders all of a sudden?" asks Tranny who
had stayed in the hole.
"It's about brains, which you wouldn't know anything about."
"What are brains?"
(Holding his hand in front of his face) "Hit my hand as hard as you
can..."
