"Software Engineering"

A software engineer, hardware engineer and departmental manager were on their way to a meeting in Switzerland.

They were driving down a steep mountain road when suddenly the brakes failed. The car careened out of control, bouncing off guard rails until it finally ground to a halt along the mountainside.

The occupants of the car were unhurt, but they had a problem.  They were stuck halfway down the mountain in a car with no brakes.

"I know" said the manager. "Let's have a meeting, propose a Vision, formulate a Mission Statement, define some Goals, and through a process of Continuous Improvement, find a solution to the Critical Problems, and we'll be on our way."

"No," said the hardware engineer. "I've got my Swiss army knife with me. I can strip down the car's braking system, isolate the fault, fix it, and we'll be on our way."

"Wait," said the software engineer. "Before we do anything, shouldn't we push the car back to the top of the mountain, and see if it happens again?"

THOUGHT for the DAY

Picking Flowers

A young man was driving along a country road on the way to see his girl. As he passed a field the idea struck him to stop and pick a bouquet of flowers. He had barely begun romping through the field when he became aware or a rather mean looking bull not far away, with head lowered and an evil look in his eye.

Far away, leaning comfortably on the prudent side of the fence, stood a farmer taking in the situation. The young man called out to him, "Hey, mister! Is that bull safe!"

To which the farmer shouted back, "Safe as anything! Can't say the same about you, though!"

A Lesson To Be Learned

The Lawyer's Office

Ms. Quisenberry, receptionist at a noted law firm, answered the phone the morning after the firm's senior partner had passed away, quite unexpectedly.

"Is Mr. Smith there?" asked the client on the phone.

"I'm very sorry, but Mr. Smith passed away last night," Ms. Q replied.

"Is Mr. Smith there?" repeated the client.

The receptionist was perplexed. "Perhaps you didn't understand me. I'm afraid Mr. Smith passed away last night."

"Yes. Is Mr. Smith there?" asked the client, yet again.

"Really, sir! Do you understand what I'm saying?" queried the exasperated receptionist. "Mr. Smith is dead."

"I understand you perfectly," sighed the client. "I just can't hear it often enough."

Little Johnny

Little Johnny was in church with his Mom for Sunday Mass when he felt a sudden barf attack impending. "Mom, I think I'm going to throw up!" She told him, "I want you to run outside as fast as you can. Run across the lawn and go behind the bushes. You can throw up behind the bushes and nobody will see you." So Little Johnny hauled ass for the door. Less than a minute later, he returned to his seat next to his Mom. He had the look of obvious relief on his young face. "Did you make it all the way to the bushes, Little Johnny?" "Nawww, I didn't have to go that far, Mom. Just as I got to the front door, I found a box that had a sign on it: FOR THE SICK."

It Was Said!

"The atom bomb will never go off - and I speak as an expert in explosives."

Don't let your tang get all tungled up!

Mr. See and Mr. Soar were old friends.  See owned a saw and Soar owned a seesaw.  Now See's saw sawed Soar's seesaw before Soar saw See, which made Soar sore.  Had Soar seen See's saw before See saw Soar's seesaw, then See's saw would not have sawed Soar's seesaw.

But See saw Soar and Soar's seesaw before Soar saw See's saw, so See's saw sawed Soar's seesaw.  It was a shame to let See see Soar so sore just because See's saw sawed Soar's seesaw.

Lucky, is a gambler in the midst of a long dry spell in Las Vegas. Eventually, he gambles away all of his money and has to borrow a quarter from another gambler, just to use the men's room. He finds a stall that happens to be open and pockets the quarter.

After months of speaking, a man in the audience jumps up and says, "I'm that man. I was the one who gave you the quarter."
