\nTo the engineer, the glass is twice as big as it needs to be.<\/p>\n

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 his 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.<\/p>\n
The engineer reluctantly took the challenge. He spent a day studying the huge machine. At the end of the day he marked an \u00e2\u20ac\u0153x\u00e2\u20ac\u009d in chalk on a particular component of the machine and proudly stated, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153This is where your problem is.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d The part was replaced and the machine worked perfectly again.<\/p>\n
The company received a bill for $50,000 from the engineer for his services. They demanded an itemized accounting of his charges. The engineer responded briefly:<\/p>\n
One chalk mark\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6$1
\nKnowing where to put it\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6$49,999<\/p>\n
It was paid in full and the engineer retired in peace.<\/p>\n

A programmer had been missing from work for over a week when finally someone noticed and called the cops. They went round to his flat and broke down the door. They found him dead in the still running shower with an empty bottle of shampoo next to his body. Apparently he\u00e2\u20ac\u2122d been washing his hair.<\/p>\n
The instructions on the bottle said:<\/p>\n
1. Wet hair
\n2. Apply shampoo
\n3. Lather
\n4. Rinse
\n5. Repeat<\/p>\n
