Deadlines Matter To Us!

A firm of surveyors, in the mood for some whacky fun, took an extremely fat book and went out to study the reaction of people in various professions. 

The doctor looked through the book, pausing to note intriguing passages, and declared his opinion that it would take him six months to complete a study of the book. 

The lawyer skimmed through it, flipping quickly through the pages, and said it would take him a couple of months to plough through it. 

The manager glanced at the book and its title, and averred it would take him a week or so to get through it. 

The engineer didn't even look at the book. "When's the exam?"

Many thanks to the two lovely ladies who told me this story.
