This is a cute quote....

Engineers are paid to think

Contractors are paid to figure out what an engineer was thinking

Inspectors are paid to out think both of them

-Author unknown

That's why we are one big happy family! :D

You mean I am supposed to think?????

Next you are going to tell me that I should be reading the instructions, even though we all know that all else has not yet failed.

I saw this one a few years back. I think my memory serves me correct:

Architects know very little about a lot

Engineers know a lot about very little

Contractors know nothing because they have to deal with Architects and Engineers

But if I read the instructions, why would someone want to be paying me to figure it out, where's the fun in that?
