The First


3/20

Eleven people were dangling below a

helicopter on a rope. There were tenEngineers and one QS.

Since the rope was not strong enough to

hold them all, they decided that one ofthem had to let go to save all the others.


4/20

They could not decide who should be

the volunteer. Finally the QS said hewould let go of the rope since QSs are

used to doing everything for the

company. They forsake their family,

dont claim all of their expenses and do

a lot of overtime without getting anything

in return.


5/20

When he finished his moving

speech all the Engineers began

to clap


6/20

Moral:

Never underestimate thepowers of a QS.

The second


8/20

A group of QSs and a group of

Engineers take a train to a conference.Each Engineer holds a ticket. But the

entire group of QSs has bought only a

single ticket. The Engineers are just

shaking their heads and are secretly

pleased that the arrogant QSs will

finally get what they deserve.


9/20

Suddenly one of the QSs calls out: The

conductor is coming!. At once, all theQSs jump up and squeeze into one of

the toilets. The conductor checks the

tickets of the Engineers. When he

notices that the toilet is occupied he

knocks on the door and says: Ticket,

please! One of the QSs slides the

ticket under the doors and the conductorcontinues merrily on his round.


10/20

For the return trip the Engineers decide

to use the same trick. They buy onlyone ticket for the entire group but they

are baffled as they realize that the QSs

didnt buy any tickets at all. After a

while one of the QSs announces again:

The conductor is coming! Immediately

all the Engineers race to a toilet and

lock themselves in.


11/20

All the QSs leisurely walk to the other

toilet. Before the last QS enters thetoilet he knocks on the toilet occupied

by the Engineers and says: Ticket,

please!


12/20

And the moral of the story?

Engineers like to use the methods ofthe QSs, but they dont really

understand them.

The third


14/20

Once upon a time three Engineers were

walking through the woods andsuddenly they were standing in front of a

huge, wild river. But they desperately

had to get to the other side. But how,

with such a raging torrent? The first

Engineer knelt down and prayed to the

Lord: Lord, please give me the

strength to cross this river! "


15/20


16/20

The second Engineer, who observed

this, prayed to the Lord and said: Lord,please give me the strength AND the

necessary tools to cross this river!


17/20

*pppppfffffffuuuuffffffff*

The Lord gave him a tub and he

managed to cross the river despite the

fact that the tub almost capsized a

couple of times.


18/20

The third Engineer who observed all this

kneeled down and prayed: Lord,please give me the strength, the means

and the intelligence to cross this river!


19/20

*pppppfffffffuuuuffffffff*

The Lord converted the Engineer into an

QS. He took a quick glance on the

map, walked a few meters upstream

and crossed the bridge.


20/20

Send this to an intelligent QS so that they

have something to smile about;

and to the Engineers if you think they can

stomach the truth!
