These jokes remind me of one along the same vein, but a bit different:

During a meeting on a military project between a group of military
officers and civilian scientists and engineers, there was a great deal
of disagreement on the feasibility of doing something the military men
wanted done.  The scientists felt that it was theoretically possible,
and supported the military men in espousing the action, but the
engineers doggedly maintained that it was not practical.  The
chairman of the task force, a Colonel in the Air Force, tried repeatedly
to get the engineers to back down, but they would not budge despite the
arguements advanced by both the military men and the scientists.
Noticing that it was approaching lunch time the chairman decided to
adjourn the meeting until after noon.  He announced:

"We'll take a break now for lunch and will reconvene at thirteen
hundred hours.  For you civilian scientists, that is one o'clock this
afternoon.  For you engineers, that is when the big hand is on the
twelve and the little hand is on the one!"
