The difference between an engineer and a scientist:
You put a beautiful, well-built girl at one end of a long hall way and a
scientist and an engineer at the other end of the hall way.
Then you tell the engineer and scientist they may advance one-half of the
remaining distance to the girl every time a bell is rung.
The scientist says "I can prove mathematically that I'll never get there"
The engineer charges off and says "I'll get close enough!"
