Speaking of Engineers... Three were in line to meet Madame Guillotine. The first one has head placed on block. The rope is tugged and the blade comes only half way when it stopped falling. The governor declared mercy by god and let him go. The second one place his head on the block, rope pulled and once again the blade halts in the middle of the drop. The governor lets him go. The third one says, "I'll wait. The tracks need to be oiled." Ka-?????
