> Only in an Engineers Mind:
>
> There were three engineers driving down the road,
> One was a Mechanical Engineer
> The second was an Electrical Engineer
> and the last was a Microsoft Software Engineer
>
> While traveling down the freeway on a bright sunny day with
> the wind in their hair enjoying their day off, the car suddenly
> sputtered and the engine stopped. They slowly steered the
> car to the side of the road.
>
> The Mechanical Engineer, the driver, said, "did you guys hear
> that sputtering sound right before the engine stopped?" "I know
> what causes that, it is the carburetor not getting enough fuel." So
> he jumped out of the car and proceeded to tinker with the
> carburetor and then he got back in and tried to start the car. No
> luck!
>
> The Electrical Engineer said, "I though that I heard the engine making
> a tapping noise which I know is caused by frayed wire or a loose
> spark plug wire," so he jumped out of the car and proceeded to check
> all of
> the wires, the spark plugs and the distributor on the engine. He got
> back in and the car and it still wouldn't start.
>
> The Microsoft Software Engineer had been watching them with a slight
> grin on his face and after all was said and done, he proudly spoke
> out,
> "you have it all wrong!" "This is a software problem and I've seen
> this
> before." The other engineers looked back waiting for the revelation
> as he stated, "All we have to do is close all of the windows,
> get out and get back in again!"
