> 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!"
