A pastor, a doctor and an engineer were waiting one morning for a
particularly slow group of golfers. The engineer fumed, "What's with
these guys? We must have been waiting for 15 minutes!" The doctor chimed
in, "I don't know, but I've never seen such ineptitude!" The pastor
said, "Hey, here comes the greens keeper. Let's have a word with him."
"Hi George! Say, what's with that group ahead of us? They're rather
slow, aren't they?" The greens keeper replied, "Oh, yes, that's a group
of blind firefighters. They lost their sight saving our clubhouse from a
fire last year, so we always let them play for free anytime." The group
was silent for a moment. The pastor said, "That's so sad. I think I
will say a special prayer for them tonight." The doctor said, "Good
idea. And I'm going to contact my ophthalmologist buddy and see if
there's anything he can do for them." The engineer said, "Why can't
these guys play at night?"

The graduate with a Science degree asks, "Why does it work?" The
graduate with an Engineering degree asks, "How does it work?" The
graduate with an Accounting degree asks, "How much will it cost?" The
graduate with an Arts degree asks, "Do you want fries with that?"
