Morning started out a little rough. It took two engineers to open one can of coffee. After five minutes of helpless fiddling, one of them shouted out for a Swiss army knife*, cause that can opener had to be better then the one being employed. After two more minutes of fiddling a third engineer pointed out that the can opener would work if it were utilized in the manner that it was designed for. A little later on, once the coffee was brewing it took 7 engineers 3 minutes to figure out how to heat up 12 cinnamon buns in a microwave. **
*What?!? It’s not my fault. The can opener looked odd and I couldn’t figure it out.
**Why yes, we did spend four years in university. How can you tell. [wry wink]
I assume this was at work. If not, how many engineers were sleeping at your place last night? Or do you wake up every morning to a house full of engineers..? If so, do they clean windows?

at work dear sir, this was at work.
