After a brief discussion one of the Selectmen said, "We don't need to raise the bridge, we'll just dig the channel deeper". To which the state engineer responded, "Why didn't we think of that..." and the audience clapped with approval of such a simple solution to the problem.

I rolled my eyes back in my head and thought "if this is what I have to work with... I might as well go home now.

Seriously? State engineer's answer joking or truly serious?
I know we all have minimal confidence in many State Officials.
