Why is it impossible? He's a "Principal Development
Engineer" in the same way that the garbage collector is a
"Sanitation Engineer."

Everybody's an engineer if they want to claim the title, but
that doesn't mean they can actually drive a train.

Just for all you engineers:


Bubba and Junior were standing at the base of a flagpole, looking up. A
blond lady walked by and asked what they were doing.

"We're supposed to find the height of the flagpole," said Bubba, "but we
don't have a ladder."

The woman took a wrench from her purse, loosened a few bolts, and laid the
pole down. Then she took a tape measure from her pocket, took a measurement
& announced, "Eighteen feet, six inches," and walked away.

Junior shook his head and laughed. "Ain't that just like a dumb blond? We
ask for the height, and she gives us the length!"
