| The Joke |
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 the 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 itemize
d accounting of his charges.
The engineer responded with the
following account:
Chalk: $1
Knowing where to put it:
$49,999
It was paid in full and the engineer retired again in
peace. |
