Boiler Room Annex<br />

Engineering Logic on the Links<br />

A priest, a doctor, and an engineer were waiting one morning<br />

for a particularly slow group of golfers.<br />

The engineer fumed, “What's with those guys? We must<br />

have been waiting for fifteen minutes!”<br />

The doctor chimed in, “I don't know, but I've never seen such<br />

inept golf!”<br />

The priest said, “Here comes the greenskeeper. Let's have a<br />

word with him.”<br />

He said, “Hello George, what's wrong with that group ahead<br />

of us? They're rather slow, aren't they?”<br />

The greenskeeper replied, “Oh, yes. That's a group of blind<br />

firemen. They lost their sight<br />

saving our clubhouse from a fire last year, so we always let<br />

them play for free anytime.”<br />

The group fell silent for a moment.<br />

The priest said, “That's so sad. I think I will say a special<br />

prayer for them tonight.”<br />

The doctor said, “Good idea. I'm going to contact my ophthalmologist<br />

colleague and see if there's anything he can do<br />

for them.”<br />

The engineer said, “Why can't they just play at night?”<br />

A Different Kind of Hardware Problem<br />

A young engineer was leaving the office at 6pm when he<br />

found his boss standing in front of a shredder with a piece of<br />

paper in his hand.<br />

“Listen,” said his boss, “this is important, and my secretary<br />

has left. Can you make this thing work?”<br />

“Certainly,” said the young engineer. He turned the machine<br />

on, inserted the paper, and pressed the start button.<br />

“Well done, Well done!” said his boss as his paper disappeared<br />

inside the machine. “I just need one copy.”<br />
