Since I work for a major seismic oil search firm, the following is
appropriate.

A wealthy man, as an experiement in phsychology, phisiology, etc. went
out into the street and found three men for the experiment.

He found an architect, a carpenter and an oilfield roughneck (works on
drilling derricks).

He took the three into a building with three rooms in a row.  He put one
of the men in each room and gave each three stainless steel balls about
3 inches in diameter.
He told each man to see what he could do with the steel balls to
construct something, or determine something about the balls. The winner
would receive a large cash prize.

The millionaire came back a day later and started judging the results.

He went into the room where the architect was located.   He found the
architect had the three balls stacked perfectly straight on top of each
other, without glue, without any visible means of support.

Next he went into the room where the carpenter was located.  He found the
carpenter had the three balls in an *absolutely straight line*

Then he went into the room where the roughneck was located.  He found the
rough-neck had lost one, broken one and had the other in his lunchbox to
take home with him.

nyuk nyuk, har har de har har. If you had seen some of the roughnecks,
I've seen it would make lots of sense.

Look, it's a joke.  No, I don't know who won.
