Engineering Terms

* A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT APPROACHES ARE BEING TRIED
We are still pissing in the wind.

* EXTENSIVE REPORT IS BEING PREPARED ON A FRESH APPROACH TO THE PROBLEM
We fired the team of engneers who after 5 years of development couldn't get it to work, and just hired three kids fresh out of college for one tenth the cost.

* CLOSE PROJECT COORDINATION
We know who to blame for any problems.

* MAJOR TECHNOLOGICAL BREAKTHROUGH
It works OK, but looks very high-tech.

* CUSTOMER SATISFACTION IS DELIVERED ASSURED
We are so far behind schedule the customer is happy just to get it delivered.

* PRELIMINARY OPERATIONAL TESTS WERE INCONCLUSIVE
The damn thing blew up when we threw the switch.

* TEST RESULTS WERE EXTREMELY GRATIFYING
We are floored that the stupid thing actually works.

* THE ENTIRE CONCEPT WILL HAVE TO BE ABANDONED
The only person who understood the thing quit.

* ALL NEW
No parts are interchangeable with any previous design.

* RUGGED
Too heavy to lift without throwing your back out.

* LIGHTWEIGHT
Lighter than RUGGED.

* YEARS OF DEVELOPMENT
After a couple of decades of work, one finally worked.

* LOW MAINTENANCE
Designed to be impossible to fix if broken

I have a hard copy of this which was given to me in 1982 when I went to work for GE. You know, back when gags and jokes were still acceptable in the workplace.

They have 3 guys riding the rack. Should be able to do it with one.

I enjoy this thread but don’t post much, I guess because I’ve never been good at telling jokes. Much as it irritates me, I’m also on Facebook because it allows me to somewhat keep up with scattered people I’d otherwise lose touch with. So yesterday this shows up randomly in my Facebook feed:

My answer: “Whoever plumbed this nonsense should be soundly beaten with the leftover pipe and fired.” 24 hour ban for inciting violence.

Then I catch up on this thread and think I’m understanding better at least one reason why so many on here have mentioned they have no use for Facebook.

Number 4

The way I see it, #3 will fill first since both of its outlets are blocked (4 and 5 will never see any water). #2 has blocked drain to 6, #7 has a hole in bottom so #2 will never stop draining. But question is incomplete, how much water is being added? Are the containers at elevations as depicted in picture, or is the picture skewed?

Tube to 5 is blocked at the end. 4 is blocked off at container #3

OMG, This is what I married into! What the heck was I thinking. My father in law had two daughters so when I came along he needed a good strong back. Kind of funny how well I remember being up on the trailer with a hay hook in my hand flipping them off the chute of the baler and stacking them 4-5 bales high. Then came the tough part carrying them and stacking them in the barn.

I did not catch that there are blocked outlets. Doh! Head slap!

They got it made. We had to pick it up off the ground.

Daren, no fair editing after the fact...

The way I see it 3 is the only one that fills. 1 fills to the bottom tube which runs into 3, which overflows once full. None of the others see any liquid.

Agree, but I still stand by my Facebook banned answer.

We mostly baled onto the rack. My dad was blind by the time I was big enough to throw bales. When we baled onto the rack I drove and my brother stacked. When we picked them off the ground my dad drove by voice guidance l threw them on the rack and my brother stacked.

It's a correct answer but you lose a point for being on Facebook in the first place.

I knew people that would probably plumb that way

Started as the driver when I was too little to throw bales, then was the wagon stacker, then the ground guy.

Then one happy day our neighbor who rented part of the farm bought an automatic hay wagon that picked them up off the ground, stacked them on the wagon, and unloaded them into the barn in a block. Dad abated part of his rent in exchange for getting up the hay. My brother and I were not disappointed to outsource that job.
