Four engineers share a car and are travelling to a techie conference.
There is a mechanical engineer, a chemical engineer, and electrical engineer and a software engineer.
The car breaks down on the motorway…
The mechanical engineer says “we must look at the engine and transmission” for the problem.
The chemical engineer says “the fuel may be contaminated. We must check the fuel tank and lines”.
The electrical engineer says “the connections to the electronic ignition system may be corroded or loose”, we must check these”.
They then all turn to the software engineer, who hasn’t said anything yet and ask “well, what do you think we should do?”
He pauses for a moment and says”
“hmm – maybe we should all get out of the car, wait 30 seconds, get back in and try to start it up again??”
