Not long ago we had a problem with an engineer.
I know alot of engineers, and they all warn me of the engineer training programs from Europe. Before our friends from across the Atlantic burn me at the stake for saying that, I would like to point out that my friend who stressed this the most was from Belgium and came from a family of engineers who trained in either Canada or America. (There are some notable exceptions to this rule depending on the type of engineer and nation, but still...)
Well, this is important because a customer has a head engineer of their plant who is trained in Britian.
As we are testing a motor, he powers it on and a six foot spray of sparks bleches from the motor. Everyone panics and power it down as fast as humanly possible.
So he wanders over to the motor, looks it over, and says in all seriousness.
"Looks good, we'll send it to be installed."
