Mrs D.: I’m only trying to convert the potential energy of the rod into the kinetic energy!
The Designer has Traced the Fault
Mr Pink /chief designer/: I had only just taken a look at your design when you came in!
Mr Green /his subordinate/: I’m glad to hear it, sir! & what dti you think of my boiler?
Mr P ./gravely/: You had been told, I believe, before you started working in my design office, that you had to base your design on scientific data!
Mr G./surprised/: It goes without saying, sir, & yet I feel an allowance must be made for the invedtive genius of...
