See? You're an engineer and that question confused you. Thst just proves my point.


I recently read a joke about engineers. I'll shorten it.

During the French revolution, three people are sentenced to death by guillotine. They are an actor, a bureaucrat, and an engineer. Each gets a last request.

The actor, being dramatic, says "I want to be face up so I can face death straight on."

They position him and drop the blade. It stops just short of cutting off his head. It's a miracle! They let him off.

The bureaucrat, being a bureaucrat, goes along and does the same thing. Sure enough, the same thing happens and they let him off.

The engineer thinks things are looking good so he makes the same choice. Just as they put him in position, he looks up and shouts "wait a minute! I see the problem!"
