An engineer who do not know how to swim was going to a picnic with his friends.A river has come across the way.The river was having water.The engineer got measured the depth of the river at different points along the width of the river and calculated average depth.The average depth was worked out to be 1 feet less than his height. He decided to cross the river as average depth was safe.You can imagine what would have happened.The engineer died in the river itself.hhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

How sad. Wouldn't you think he would have known that he could lose his balance or even step on some rocks. There's not much point in talking about all the things he could have done now, as it wouldn't help. Such a waste of human life. I feel so sorry for his family and friends.

I could recall a similar story. One of my Engineer friends was deputed to supervise a construction work in a stretch in the northern India over the river Ganges. He would simply got scared when he was to stand erect of the pillars standing on the bed of gushing current. Due to elevation factor the wind would blow like storm. It was particularly dreadful at night when visibility would have been limited upto few feet, and all he could hear was the noise of current, and a strong wind far away from any locality.
But he did not die, he left the job within a week.
But in your case, it is sad indeed.

Two women were comparing notes on the difficulties of running a small business.
"I started a new practice last year," the first one said. "I insist that each of my employees take at least a week off every three months."
"Why in the world would you do that?" the other asked.
She responded, "It's the best way I know of to learn which ones I can do without."

A college pizza dilivery boy arrived at the house of Mr.
Smith. He dilivered the pizza to his trailer. After giving it to him, Mr. Smith asked,"What is the usual tip?"
"Well," replied the youth, "this is my first trip here, but the other guys say if I get a quater out of you, I'll be doing great."
"Is that so?" snorted Mr. Smith."Well, just to show how wrong they are, here'e five dollars."
"Thanks," replied the youth, " I'll put this in my school fund."
"What are you studying in school?" asked Mr. Smith.
"Applied psychology." the youth smiled and said.
