One manager was bragging to another.
"I have a great engineer working for me.

Last week I gave him a project
and he stayed up for six straight days,
completed the design,
finished the bill of materials
and wrote a 50 page report.

The completed projected was on my desk
when I got to work on Monday morning."

His friend asked
"So how far ahead of schedule was he?"

The manager said,

"Ahead of schedule?
Who ever heard of an engineer doing that?"
