After a hard day’s work the boss rewards his best workers – today an engineer and physicist tied in their efforts.
The boss puts a cold beer at the end of the room and tells them “First to it, gets it“
“But you can only travel half the distance each step“
While the engineer is enjoying a refreshing cold one, the boss asks the physicist why he didn’t move.
“I could never get there if I’m restricted to only move half the distance each time“
The boss asks the engineer if that’s true.
“Of course it’s true – but I can get close enough to get the job done“
