There's a small German town near Munich called Pfilzerplatz, and the town isrenowned for producing fine stationery. Anyway, Munich had a problem --the thousands of stray dogs in the city were breeding with one another andoverrunning the city. So the people of Munich banded together and ran thedogs out of the city. Unfortunately, the dogs appeared in Pfilzerplatz. Thedogs took over everything, and the mayor decided to evacuate the town. Thepaper mills were shut down, and everyone left.But a couple days later, the townsfolk, watching their town from the hills,saw smoke rising from the smokestacks. They knew no humans were left in thetown, so they concluded that the dogs had learned to operate the factories.The mayor hurried to Munich's town hall and pleaded, "You've got to help us!The mills are alive with the hounds of Munich!"

To err is human; to moo bovine.

On a late working night, three engineers are sitting around in the office discussing the nature of the universe.

"You know," says the first one, "God is a mechanical engineer at heart. Just look at the human skeleton. It's one of the most marvelous physical structures ever devised."

"Sure, the skeleton is pretty impressive, but it's nothing compared to the brain", says the second one. "It is, without a doubt, the most extraordinary information processing device the universe has ever seen. No, God is a computer scientist. No doubt about it."

"You're both wrong", the third one says. "God is a civil engineer."

"What?" The other two ask, baffled.

"Sure", the third engineer says. "Who else would run a sewage line through a recreational area?"
