They are also highly developed.\u201c<\/p>\n<p>So pack the wire in a box and include a note asking them to measure the wire's diameter. After two weeks, the box returns with a reply note: \u201eUnfortunately, we cannot measure this wire. Too thin.\u201c<\/p>\n<p>Then the Austrian says again: \u201cWe'll have to send him to Germany.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The other says: \u201cNo, we're sending him to China. That's where microchips are made. They can definitely measure him there.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Easier said than done. They include another note asking to measure the wire. It takes another two weeks, and then the box is back.<br \/>\nUnfortunately, we cannot measure this wire.

Let's send him to Germany.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>So the wire is packed back into a box and sent to Germany. However, the Austrians forget to include a note stating what they actually want.<\/p>\n<p>After 2 weeks, the package returns from Germany with a note from the German Engineers:<\/p>\n<p>\u201eDear Austrian colleagues. We received a package with a roll of wire but no note. Since we didn't know what to do with it, we drilled a hole in the wire and cut a metric internal thread.
