Hi Mike, I think you will find that your joke has been only partly modified for different audiences. There is an engineer in the first para and then a lawyer in the second. Which bunch are you trying to slag off?

I thought a Friday Joke may cheer you up prior to going under the blade... An engineer driving past a farmer's pasture stopped to watch a dog that was grabbing dried cow pies in its mouth, shaking them, then tossing them away. After watching the dog do this several times, the lawyer said to the farmer, "That's an odd way for your dog to act, isn't it?" "Not really," the farmer said. "He bit an engineer this morning, and he's trying to get the bad taste out of his mouth." ************************************************** To post a message to austechwriter, send the message to austechwriter@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx To subscribe to austechwriter, send a message to austechwriter-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with "subscribe" in the Subject field.
