Slightly oversized
They ask a civil engineer:
- How much is 1 + 1?
- The engineer thinks for a moment and replies: "1 + 1 is, of course, 2."
- He thinks for a while, then adds: "But you know what? Better write down 3, just to leave some margin."
Did that make you smile? We hope so, but we all know from experience that this kind of thinking isn’t always a mistake.
