I saw a show with a guy who was flogging his new invention, little strobe lights which would be set into the street, along the centre line, to warn of school zones and the like. Each little unit had it’s own solar panel for re-charging and the units could be controlled wirelessly to flash at appropriate times. The panel of judges consisted of an engineer, a designer and an architect and they questioned the inventor as follows:
Engineer: Are they sturdy enough to withstand being run over by cars?
Engineer: Are they sturdy enough to withstand being run over by cars?
Inventor: Yes, they use the same housing as aircraft runway lights.
Designer: Would they still be visible in bright sunlight?
Inventor: Yes, they are easily seen in bright sunlight.
Architect: Do you worry people might come and smash them with a sledgehammer? Or spray-paint them black?
Inventor: What the fuck are you sniffing? Are you too stupid to come up with a technical question of your own? Hit them with a fucking hammer? “Greta go and git my big hammer. Them shiny things is out there again.”
Go and button your cardigan, you big Nancy.
Ok that last answer was me. Architects are twats. I think his name was Brendan. I have other proof.
