"Hey look, buddy, I'm an Engineer. That means I solve problems. Not problems like 'what is beauty?', because that would fall within the purview of your conundrums of philosophy. I solve practical problems. For instance, how am I gonna stop some big mean mother hubbard from tearing me a structurally superfluous new behind? The answer... use a gun. And if that don't work, use more gun. Like this heavy caliber, tripod-mounted little old number designed by me. Built by me. And you'd best hope... not pointed at you."

• Caption from a Bill Mauldin cartoon in World War II:

"Yessir--Ol' B Comp'ny broke another bridge buildin' record. A kraut regiment is retreatin' across it."
