Hi ya'll!

I'm sorry about my message the other day, didn't mean to ruffle any
feathers...
honestly! Just trying to drum up some interaction on the list. Maybe the way
I went about it wasn't the best...

I just gotta add my two-cents though about the Werner comments though, I
really feel privileged when he takes the time to respond to one of my
questions.
I am really glad he's on this list...('kay, that's my 2-cents)

On a lighter note:

THE ENGINEERS BILL

There was an engineer who had an exceptional gift for fixing all things
mechanical.
After serving his company loyally for over 30 years, he happily retired.

Several years later his company contacted him regarding a seemingly impossible
problem they were having with one of their multi-million dollar machines.
They had tried
everything and everyone else to get the machine fixed, but to no avail. In
desperation,
they called on the retired engineer who had solved so many of their problems
in the past.

The engineer reluctantly took the challenge. He spent a day studying the huge
machine.
At the end of the day he marked a small "X" in chalk on a particular
component of the
machine and proudly stated, "This is where your problem is".

The part was replaced and the machine worked perfectly again.

The company received a bill for $50,000 from the engineer for his service.
They demanded an itemized accounting of his charges.

The engineer responded briefly:

One chalk mark ................ $1
Knowing where to put it ..... $49,999

It was paid in full and the engineer retired in peace.

(This joke is dedicated to you Werner!)
