There are four engineers traveling in a car: a mechanical engineer, a chemical engineer, an electrical engineer, and a software engineer ...who works on Microsoft Windows.


The car breaks down and they all have suggestions on what to do.

"Sounds to me as if the pistons have seized," says the mechanical engineer. "We'll have to strip down the engine before we can get the car working again."

"I disagree," says the chemical engineer. "It sounded to me as if the fuel might be contaminated. I think we should clear out the fuel system."

"I thought it might be a grounding problem," says the electrical engineer, "or maybe a faulty plug lead."

They all turn to the software engineer, who has said nothing so far.

"Well?" they all say to the geek. "What do you think?"

"Well," the Microsoftie suggests, "perhaps if we all get out of the car and get back in again...?"

It's the first day of school and the teacher thought she'd get to know the kids by asking them their name and what their father does for a living.


The first little girl says: "My name is Mary and my daddy is a postman."

The next little boy says: "I'm Andy and my Dad is a mechanic."

Then one little boy says: "My name is Jimmy and my father is a striptease dancer in a cabaret for gay men."

The teacher gasps and quickly changes the subject, but later in the school yard the teacher approaches Jimmy privately and asks if it was really true that his Dad dances nude in a gay bar. He blushed and said, "I'm sorry but my dad is a lawyer and I was just too embarrassed to say so."

This is an unusual paragraph. I'm curious as to just how quickly you can find out what is so unusual about it. It looks so ordinary and plain that you would think nothing was wrong with it. In fact, nothing is wrong with it! It is highly unusual though. Study it and think about it, but you still may not find anything odd.. But if you work at it a bit, you might find out. Try to do so without any coaching!
