Well, after reconsidering, maybe I was being too kindly toward the engineering profession. It's true that the human factors get overlooked sometimes. And I certainly have my issues with architects, etc.
But I'm interested to hear how Cholula would like to re-design bathrooms so that they are 'better designed for the way people live.'
And on the subject of engineers, there is a story about a cocktail:
In August, 1924, an American engineer nearly died of fever in the Philippines, and only the extraordinary devotion of Dr. B saved his life. As an act of gratitude, the engineer gave Dr. B the recipe of this cocktail.
The Oriental Cocktail
-2 ounces straight rye whiskey
-1 ounce sweet vermouth
-1 ounce Triple Sec
-3/4 ounce fresh lime juice
Pour all the ingredients into an ice-filled cocktail shaker. Shake vigorously. Strain into a well-chilled, large martini glass.
- originally reported by Harry Craddock (Savoy London) and modified slightly in a new edition of The Savoy Cocktail Book.

TAX TIME
At the end of the tax year the IRS sent an inspector to audit the books of a synagogue.
While he was checking the books, he turned to the Rabbi and said,
"I notice you buy a lot of candles. What do you do with the candle
drippings?" "Good question,"noted the Rabbi. "We save them up and send them
back to the candle makers, and every now and then they send us a
free box of candles." "Oh," replied the IRS auditor, somewhat disappointed
that his unusual question had a practical answer. But on he went, in his obnoxious way.
"What about all these matzo (bread) purchases? What do you do with the
crumbs?" "Ah, yes," replied the Rabbi, realizing that the inspector was
trying to trap him with an unanswerable question. "We collect them and
send them back to the manufacturers, and every now and then they send a
free box of matzo balls." "I see," replied the auditor, thinking hard about how
he could fluster the know-it-all Rabbi.
"Well, Rabbi," he went on, "What do you do with all the leftover foreskins
from the circumcisions you perform?" "Here, too, we do not waste,"
answered the Rabbi. "What we do is save up all the foreskins and send them
to the IRS, and about once a year they send us a complete dick."

Deleted because it contained word which I now find to be first and foremost offensive.

You should have seen Lehava pour her heart out to me wondering why, oh why, you left her as you went to bed alone...
