FAO OF THE ENGINEERS AMONGST US

[Wizzel]

Thought you may appreciate this - Haddock and MSea especially, with the nautical flavour!

"A ship engine failed and no one could fix it. Then they brought in a chap with 40 years on the job. He inspected the engine very carefully, top to bottom. After looking things over, the guy reached into his bag and pulled out a small hammer. He gently tapped something. Instantly, the engine lurched into life. The engine was fixed! 7 Days later the owners got his bill for 10k. 'What?!' the owners said 'You hardly did anything.  Send us an itemised bill." the reply simply said

Tapping with a hammer. £2
Knowing where to tap. £9998"

Always over-priced you engineers, want paying for nowt!

I'm as impressed the maths on the bill was correct as I am that he knew where to tap with the hammer!  Must have a good accountant.

As they say - if you can't fix it with a hammer its not fixable.
