QS Vs Engineer Joke

Quantity Surveyors Vs Engineers

A group of Quantity Surveyors and a group of Engineers take a train to a conference. Each Engineer holds a ticket. But the entire group of QS’s has bought only a single ticket. The Engineers are just shaking their heads and are secretly pleased that the arrogant QS’s will finally get what they deserve.

Suddenly one of the QS’s calls out: “The conductor is coming!” At once, all the QS’s jump up and squeeze into one of the toilets. The Conductor checks the tickets of the Engineers. When he notices that the toilet is occupied he knocks on the door and says: “Ticket please!” One of the QS’s slides the ticket under the door and the Conductor continues merrily on his round.

For the return journey the Engineers decide to use the same trick. They buy only one ticket for the entire group but they notice the QS’s didn’t buy any tickets at all. After a while one of the QS’s announces again “The Conductor is coming!” Immediately all the Engineers race to a toilet and lock themselves in.

All the QS’s leisurely walk to the other toilet. Before the last QS enters the toilet he knocks on the toilet occupied by the Engineers and says “Ticket please!”

And the moral of the story??

Engineers like to use the methods of the QS’s, but they don’t really understand them.
