Mathematically Challenged
Not enough pounds; too many tons24 total reviews
Comment from karenina
Remind me never to go over any bridges in your area any time...well, EVER! This is funny and pathetic at the same time! "You do the math!"
Really? I quick trek into Google land informed me that Air Force One weighs 710 tons---fully loaded with fuel, etc.
Twenty million tons! The top of my head is about to explode. Good golly geekers, I really REALLY hope this is "General Flash Fiction" --and that man isn't in charge of this project!
Totally entertaining write...if only it wasn't so worrisome!

This story is true, except for the punchline. The supervisor is presumably not an engineer--he'd have flunked!

Seriously...
Scary stuff!

Oh no! I don't think that guy should be working on the bridge project. Perhaps he's only the artist? Still, he should get his math straight, if he's representing the bridge project!

Comment from Jasmine Girl
Haha. The project supervisor should do the math himself. Then he will understand that it's not possible for the bridge to weight twenty million pounds. Or am I wrong?
Well done.

I think I'd do the same, sheesh, there's a little difference between tons and pounds, heh heh. An excellent post Liz. You're lucky to have such clever friends, I loved it, blessings Roy
