This is for our members who toil I the computer industry: There are three
men in a car driving on a country road, a mechanical engineer, and
electrical engineer, and a computer programmer. The car stalls and stops.
The mechanical engineer says, "There is a problem with the fuel system,
perhaps I should get out and clean the filter." The electrical engineer
says, "No, no. The engine isn't getting any spark. open the hood and check
the wires." The computer programmer says, "Let's just get out of the car and
then get back in and see if it starts."
Having just typed that, I realize that it could be considered sexist, as all
are men. OK, two are men and the other a woman. She says, "Let's call Triple
A." Takes some of the fun out of it, doesn't it.

An engineer, a physicist and a mathematician all went to sleep in their
respective hotel rooms. A small fire started in each room's trash can. The
engineer awakened first, assessed the situation, then grabbed the fire
extinguisher off the wall. He blasted the fire in the can until it was out.
Then he turned it on the furniture, the bed and the walls for good measure.
He went back to bed.
The physicist was the second to awake. He carefully examined the fire,
made few calculations, gave a test blast with the extinguisher, then
directed the blast of the extinguisher at the base of the fire for 4.8
seconds. Satisfied it was out, he returned to bed.
The mathematician was the last to awaken. He glanced at the fire,
scribbled furiously for 30 minutes. He put down his pad, raised his pencil
and said, "It can be done." And went back to bed.
