Understanding Engineers*
_______________________
A priest, a doctor, and an engineer were waiting one morning for a
particularly slow group of golfers. The engineer fumed, "What's with those
guys? We must have been waiting for fifteen minutes!" The doctor chimed in,
"I don't know, but I've never seen such inept golf!" The priest said, "Here
comes the greens-keeper. Let's have a word with him." He said, "Hello
George, What's wrong with that group ahead of us? They're rather slow,
aren't they?" The greens-keeper replied, "Oh, yes. That's a group of blind
firemen. They lost their sight saving our clubhouse from a fire last year,
so we always let them play for free anytime!." The group fell silent for a
moment. The priest said, "That's so sad. I think I will say a special
prayer for them tonight." The doctor said, "Good idea. I'm going to contact
my ophthalmologist colleague and see if there's anything she can do for
them." The engineer said, "Why can't they play at night?"
