    There comes a time in every project where you just have to shoot the engineers and get started.

    my favorite

    A man in a hot air balloon realized he was lost. He reduced altitude and spotted a man below. He descended a bit more and shouted, "Excuse me, can you help me? I promised a friend I would meet him half an hour ago, but I don't know where I am."
    The man below replied, "You are in a hot air balloon hovering approximately 30 feet above the ground. You are between 40 and 42 degrees north latitude and between 58 and 60 degrees west longitude."
    "You must be an engineer," said the balloonist.
    "I am," replied the man, "but how did you know?"
    "Well," answered the balloonist, "everything you told me is technically correct, but I have no idea what to make of your information, and the fact is I am still lost."
    The man below responded, "You must be a manager."
    "I am," replied the balloonist, "how did you know?"
    "Well," said the man, "you don't know where you are or where you are going. You made a promise which you have no idea how to keep, and you expect me to solve your problem. The fact is you are exactly in the same position you were in before we met, but now, somehow, it's my fault."

    Another one

    When I was in school one of my Physics professors used to tell this one.

    An engineer, a physicist, and a mathematician are each sleeping in their rooms. A fire starts in their rooms.

    The engineer wakes up and sees the fire. He jumps up, grabs the fire extinguisher, and points it in the direction of the flames. He proceeds to empty the extinguisher and puts the fire out. He then goes back to sleep.

    The physicist wakes up and sees the fire. He takes a few quick measurements and calculates the exact angle of attack and duration of spray needed to put the fire out. He then grabs the extinguisher, executes the shot and puts the fire out. He then goes back to sleep.

    The mathematician wakes up and sees the fire. He takes a few measurements and works out a few equations. He concludes, "A solution exists." He then goes back to sleep.
