An engineer, a mathematician, and a physicist are each presented with a beautiful woman and the stipulation that at each time interval, they may move half of the remaining distance towards her.
The mathematician points out that the distance will never reach zero, and walks away in disgust.
The physicist opines that if each iteration requires a finite amount of energy then the energy expended in the approach will be inversely proportional to the distance remaining and gives up on the spot.
The engineer says "8 feet, 4 feet, 2 feet, 1 foot, 6 inches....close enough for practical purposes".
... and the members of sound science stand there endlessly debating about whether her garter belt is overly complex, or if the memory foam mattress she's laying on was originally designed with such behavior in mind.
