JOKE TIME                                                  SUDOKU


        Arguing with an engineer is like trying to teach a pig to sing.
        It wastes your time, and annoys the pig.
        Five surgeons were taking a coffee break and were
        discussing their work. The first said, “I think accountants are the
        easiest to operate on. You open them up and
        everything inside is numbered.”
        The second said, “I think librarians are the easiest to
        operate on. You open them up and everything inside is
        inalphabetical order.”
        The third said, “I like to operate on electricians.
        You open them up and everything inside is color-coded.”
        The fourth one said, “I like to operate on lawyers. They’re
        heartless, spineless, gutless, and their heads and their butts
        are interchangeable.”
        Fifth surgeon said, “I like Engineers...they always understand
        when you have a few parts left over at the end...”
