Firstly -let me say that I have nothing against HR people “per se”  but whoever put this gag together likes to use the HR department as the fall guy (girl)
So here goes ….......

Once upon a time three HR people were walking through the woods and suddenly they were confronted by a huge, wild river – they were completely lost and could not go back the way they came, so they had to cross the river.

But how would they manage to get across such a raging torrent of water?

The first HR guy knelt down and prayed to the Lord: “Lord, please give me super human strength so that I can cross this river!"
There was a bolt of lightening and a loud  " pppppfffffffuuuuffffffff*


The Lord gave him strong arms and strong legs so that he could swim across the river. It took him about two hours and he almost drowned several times. 
BUT… he was successful!

The second HR guy, who observed this, prayed to the Lord: and said: “Lord, please give me super human
strength AND the necessary tools to cross this river!"
There was a bolt of lightening and a loud ”
ppppfffffffuuuuffffffff*

T
he Lord gave him an oar and a tub and he managed to cross the river despite the fact that the tub almost capsized a couple of times.
  BUT… he was successful!


The third HR man who observed all this kneeled down and prayed: “Lord, please give me the strength, the means and the intelligence to cross this river!"
There was a bolt of lightening and a loud ”
ppppfffffffuuuuffffffff*

T
he Lord transformed the HR man into an Engineer.

He took a quick glance on the map, walked a few meters upstream and crossed over by the bridge. 


Moral: There is a times to “strike while the iron is hot” - BUT Engineers also caution that you should “look before you leap”
