Men not at work

Description

As you're walking down the street, your progress is halted by a series of barricades and flashing orange lights. A large yellow sign says "CAUTION: MEN WORKING" but what you're seeing is a bunch of men standing around a very small hole, holding shovels, drinking coffee and shooting the breeze. You know, business as usual. Which is fine, but they're in your way.

Come to think of it, one of these slackers looks vaguely familiar. Who can it be now?
