On the same lines,

A manager, a hardware engineer and a software engineer were in a car driving along a mountain road. Suddenly, a tyre explodes and the car veers off the road onto a scree slope and slides for 200 feet before coming to rest against the only tree on the slope, just before a 700ft vertical drop.

After a stunned silence the manager spoke up, "When we get back I'm going to change the company policy to ensure we only lease new vehicles with run-flat tyres".

Then the hardware engineer spoke up, "When I get back I'm going to send the tyre to the laboratory to determine exactly why it failed and send the results to the manufacturer".

After a short pause the software engineer spoke, "Well", he said, "I think we ought to do it again and see if it's repeatable".
