Re: Vanilla ice cream == car problems??
And now for the rest of the story…
“This is the third time I have written to you. The first time you ignored me because you thought I was crazy for thinking vanilla ice cream caused my car not to start. You answered my second plea and sent out an engineer to investigate. At least that’s what I thought, but now I’m not sure. I don’t blame you if you think that I’m paranoid, but I got to thinking how it was strange how my wife wanted me out of the house every night. Then it so happened that the only time the Pontiac started when I’d bought vanilla, the engineer was already there when I got home. I talked to the dealership mechanic who worked on the car; he said he’d seen the problem before and that the same engineer had diagnosed it. He asked whether I thought it was odd that Pontiac would approve that many engineer hours to diagnose such a trivial problem. What finally prompted me to ask whether you sent the engineer was when the mechanic and all of his buddies laughed out loud when he said; ‘They don’t call him Mr. Goodwrench for nothing!’”
Final moral of the story:
Whenever there’s an effect, it’s usually an engineer who caused it!!
