Question:

Why did the Engineer take SUE and a Bong-stick to the beach?

O.K., the answer isn't what you Hippies think it is, SUE is an acronym for Signalling, Underwater, Explosive and a Bong stick is a piece of kit where a handle turning a rotary arm causes a hammer to strike a long brass tube. Any takers?

My guess is that using this Bong stick, creates a noise underwater, so that divers are warned before an underwater explosion is made.

Probably way off beam

Close Richard, but no cigar. I don't want to COPP out just yet so I'll let everyone cogitate on this one for a little longer before posting the answer. Hint, did I misspell cop?

Didn't know that they were specifically enginers though.
