There were these two Engineers who decided

they would go moose hunting in the backwoods of British Columbia. As
it
happened, they lucked out and got a moose. Unfortunately, they
were
about a mile from their truck. They were having a tough time
dragging the
animal by the hind legs when a Wildlife Biologist
happened upon them.

He said, “You know, the hair follicles on a moose
have a grain to them
that causes the hair to lie toward the back.
The way you are dragging
that
moose, it increases your coefficient
of friction by a huge margin. If
you
grab it by the antlers and
pull, you will find the work required to be
quite
minimal.”

The Engineers thanked him and started dragging the moose by the

antlers. After about an hour, one Engineer said, “I can’t believe how
easy
it is to move this moose this way. I sure am glad we ran
across that
Biologist.”

“Yeah.”, said the other. “But we’
re getting further and further
away from our truck.”
