Here is the engineer [img]smile.gif[/img] enjoy

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 multimillion dollar
machines. They had tried everything and everyone else to get the machine to
work 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 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 itemized
accounting of his charges. The engineer responded briefly:

One chalk mark - $1

Knowing where to put it - $49,999.

It was paid in full and the engineer retired again in peace.
