I tried to go to that other site and look up old posts, but I am not sure it is working.
Anyway, there is an old joke about an engineer in a hot-air baloon asking a surveyor where he's at. (I have heard other renditions of the same joke only with, say a politician in the hot-air baloon).
Does anyone know the one about the engineer and the surveyor?
Also, does anyone know how to look for old posts from the defunct rpls.com?
Thanks
the engineer is lost in a hot air ballon when he spies a man on a hill. He hollers down and asks him if he knows where he is.
The man on the ground says "yes, you are in a hot air ballon, about 40' off the ground at latitiude 40 north and longitude 80 west"
"Well," says the enginner, "I can tell that you are a land surveyor."
"And how is that," the man on the ground replies?
"You gave me a precise answer that is absolutly no help to me."
"And I can tell that you are a Civil Engineer!" Says the man on the ground. "You are lost, ask me for help and now it's my problem!"
Thanks Mr. Poole.
That's it.
This will look good on the wall in my office...
Thank's Jerel McLarty,:-D
