A
DUMB ENGINEER
Three
men went to Mexico together on a vacation. They had known each other
in high school, and they were eager to get to know each other again.
One
night, they went out on the town and got completely drunk. When
they woke up the next morning, they were in a jail cell. They asked
the guard why they were there. He replied, "Last night the
three of you killed an old man. You will be executed at noon."
Of
course, none of them believed this. They begged and pleaded with
their jailer, and even offered him substantial bribes if he would
just let them go. But, he stood firm, and the jail door stayed shut.
The
hour came. They all ate their last meal and were herded into the
room where the electric chair sat. The first man was strapped into
the chair and was asked for his last words.
He
said, "Well, I'm a theologian from Harvard Divinity School,
and I believe in the power of God to intervene on behalf of the
innocent."
The
executioner threw the switch, but nothing happened. He immediately
thought, "God must be on this man's side." So he let him
go.
The
second man was strapped in, and he was asked for his last words.
He responded, "I'm a lawyer from Yale Law School, and I believe
in the power of justice to intervene on behalf of the innocent."
The
switch was thrown, but again, nothing happened. The executioner
figured that justice must be on this man's side, and he let him
go.
Finally,
the third man was strapped into the chair and was asked for his
last words.
"Well,
I'm an electrical engineer from MIT, and nothing's going to happen
if you don't connect those two wires right there..."
