I heard a good one a few weeks ago...
Three engineers, a mechanical engineer, a chemical engineer, and a
Microsoft engineer, are riding in a car when the engine quits. The
mechanical engineer suggests a rebuild of the engine. The chemical
enginneer suggests that perhaps something is wrong with the fuel system.
The Microsoft engineer suggests that they turn off the ignition, close
all the windows, and get out of the car. Then get back in and start it
up again...
