The First
7/30/2019 QS v Engineers
3/20
Eleven people were dangling below a
helicopter on a rope. There were tenEngineers and one QS.
Since the rope was not strong enough to
hold them all, they decided that one ofthem had to let go to save all the others.

They could not decide who should be
the volunteer. Finally the QS said hewould let go of the rope since QSs are
used to doing everything for the
company. They forsake their family,
dont claim all of their expenses and do
a lot of overtime without getting anything
in return.

speech all the Engineers began

The second

A group of QSs and a group of
Engineers take a train to a conference.Each Engineer holds a ticket. But the
entire group of QSs has bought only a
single ticket. The Engineers are just
shaking their heads and are secretly
pleased that the arrogant QSs will
finally get what they deserve.

Suddenly one of the QSs calls out: The
conductor is coming!. At once, all theQSs jump up and squeeze into one of
the toilets. The conductor checks the
tickets of the Engineers. When he
notices that the toilet is occupied he
knocks on the door and says: Ticket,
please! One of the QSs slides the
ticket under the doors and the conductorcontinues merrily on his round.

For the return trip the Engineers decide
to use the same trick. They buy onlyone ticket for the entire group but they
are baffled as they realize that the QSs
didnt buy any tickets at all. After a
while one of the QSs announces again:
The conductor is coming! Immediately
all the Engineers race to a toilet and
lock themselves in.

All the QSs leisurely walk to the other
toilet. Before the last QS enters thetoilet he knocks on the toilet occupied
by the Engineers and says: Ticket,
please!

And the moral of the story?
Engineers like to use the methods ofthe QSs, but they dont really
understand them.

The third

Once upon a time three Engineers were
walking through the woods andsuddenly they were standing in front of a
huge, wild river. But they desperately
had to get to the other side. But how,
with such a raging torrent? The first
Engineer knelt down and prayed to the
Lord: Lord, please give me the
strength to cross this river! "

The second Engineer, who observed
this, prayed to the Lord and said: Lord,please give me the strength AND the
necessary tools to cross this river!

*pppppfffffffuuuuffffffff*
The Lord gave him a tub and he
managed to cross the river despite the
fact that the tub almost capsized a
couple of times.

The third Engineer who observed all this
kneeled down and prayed: Lord,please give me the strength, the means
and the intelligence to cross this river!

*pppppfffffffuuuuffffffff*
The Lord converted the Engineer into an
QS. He took a quick glance on the
map, walked a few meters upstream
and crossed the bridge.

Send this to an intelligent QS so that they
have something to smile about;
and to the Engineers if you think they can
stomach the truth!
