<div>This is a paraphrasing of an old story circulating
around...</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>An engineer was on a cruise when a noise developed in the</div>
<div>propulsion system. Being a specialist they called on him.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>He walked are the engine room and placed an ''X" on a
shaft.</div>
<div>He asked for a hammer and whacked the pipe at the mark.</div>
<div>The noise stopped.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>The Captain asked for an itemization of his $501.00 bill:</div>
<div>Hitting chalk mark with hammer
$1.00</div>
<div>Knowing where to place the mark $500.00</div>
