Any Mechanical Engineers out there
Okay, I'm at home now and can post about the ME's I WORK with!
One guy had a farm in the country. He had a large beehive in a tree. He didn't WANT the beehive in his tree. Looking around his premises he realized he had in his possesion a 5 gallon can of gasoline. Can you say disaster, not looking for, but found a place to happen? He doused the hive with gas and while being fiercely stung by the indignant bees, lit it. Then he decided it wasn't burning enough, so he went inside to escape the bees and rethink his plan. WRONG! This moron, still being stung fiercely by the now intensely ticked off bees, grabbed his trusty 5 gal. can of gas and...realised the spout on the can was too small to do what he wanted, in his no common sense engineer mind, to do.
So, he took a bucket, filled it with gas and flung it into the air at the beehive. Remember how I said the hive was in a tree? The gas travelled through the air, igniting as it went. Some arched through the air and into the tree. Some reached it's zenith and fell back on our moronic hero. So now the beehive, tree, and engineer are on fire. And the bees? They're all rolling on the ground laughing their little stingers off. To make a very long story only long, the tree burned up completely, sparks from the tree caught his barn on fire and it burned down, also completely, and he had 2nd degree burns over 40% of his body. Oh, and the bees? They moved one tree over and built a new hive.
This same engineer decided he wanted to plow his field but his tractor was broken. So he took his company car and hooked the plow to the rear axle somehow. Again to shorten the story, he pulled the rear end out from under the car and then had the nerve to call the company wrecker to tow the car out of his field.
