An electrical engineer, chemical engineer, mechanical engineer, and a computer engineer are carpooling together. Suddenly the car stops. The electrical engineer says,
"I bet it is the electrical system. We should open up the hood, check the battery and alternator, pull the distributor off, check the wiring, and clean all the plugs. That should get the car going."
The chemical engineer replied, "It sounded to me as bad fuel. We should empty the tank, flush the system, get new fuel, and that should get us on the way."
"You're both wrong," said the mechanical engineer. "I heard the cylinders being out of balance. We should pull the engine, ensure that they are all of the proper size, that the seals are intact, and that the crankshaft is properally connected. Then we can get to work."
The computer engineer hadn't said a thing. The others looked at him. "Well," he said slowly, "I suppose we could all get out and get back in."
