How many social
scientists does it take to
change a light bulb?
None. Social scientists do not change light

root cause as to why the last one went
out.

A wife and her
husband were having a dinner
party for all the major status figures in Rome,
Italy.
The
wife was very excited about this and wanted everything to be
perfect. At the very last minute, she realized that she didn't have any
snails for this dinner party, so she asked her husband to run down to
the
beach with the bucket she was handing him to gather some snails.
Very
grudgingly he agreed.
He took the bucket, walked out
the door, down the steps, and out to the
beach. As he was collecting
the snails, he noticed a beautiful woman
walking alongside the
water just a little further down the beach. He kept
thinking to himself
"Wouldn't it be great if she would even just come
down and talk to
me." He went back to gathering the snails.
All of a sudden he
looked up, and the beautiful woman was standing
right over him. They
got to talking, and she invited him back to her place.
nThey were at her apartment a ways down the beach, and they started
messing around. It got so hot and heavy, that he was exhausted
afterwards
and passed out there.
At seven o'clock the next
morning he woke up and exclaimed, "Oh no!
My wife's dinner party!"
He gathered all his clothes, put them on really quickly, grabbed
his
bucket, and ran out the door.
He ran down the beach all
the way to his apartment. He ran up the
stairs of his apartment. He
was in such a hurry that when he got to the top
of the stairs, he
dropped the bucket of snails.
There were snails all down the
stairs. The door opened just then, with
a very angry wife standing in
the door way wondering where he's been
all this time.
He
looked at the snails on the steps, then he looked at her, then back
at the snails and said - "Come on guys, we're almost there!"

There was an engineer who had an
exceptional
gift for fixing all things mechanical. After serving his company
loyally for over 30 years, he happily retired.
Several years
later the company contacted him regarding a seemingly
impossible
problem they were having with one of their multi-million dollar
machines.
They had tried everything and everyone else to get the
machine
fixed, but to no avail. In desperation, they called on the retired
engineer who had solved so many of their problems in the past. The
engineer reluctantly took the challenge.
He spent a day studying
the huge machine. At the end of the day, he
marked a small "x" in
chalk on a particular component of the machine and
proudly stated,
"This is where your problem is".
The part was replaced and the
machine worked perfectly again. The
company received a bill for
$50,000 from the engineer for his service. They
demanded an itemize
d accounting of his charges.
The engineer responded with the
following account:
Chalk: $1
Knowing where to put it:
$49,999
It was paid in full and the engineer retired again in
peace.
