The engineer has a wee, doesn’t bother washing his hands, turns to the attendant and say ‘Engineers learn not to pee all over their hands’.

G-man: Thanks so much for your kind words. I enjoy your blog too.

In fact, if there is an award for coming up with quick thoughts or ideas, I most certainly would have won it at least once. It is all smoke and mirrors; recall Kramer when he got a job with a company that never hired him:)<br/>p.s.<br/>Have a wonderful Christmas! I have felt fortunate to have met you.
