At a meeting in Brussels of the world's most renowned physicists, the British delegation was introducing their latest and greatest accomplishment, the smallest wire ever produced by mankind! 1/10000 of a mm in diameter. They spend hours telling of the hardship and intelligence required to produce it and how it is the greatest accomplishment in the world to date. Following their presentation, they are approached by a member of the German delegation who requests a sample for study purposes. The British say that they can only provide a one kilometer roll. The Germans take it back to their hotel room and the next morning return it to the Brits who ask what they found. The German professor says study it with a microscope. The British professor observes a minute hole in the end of it and says, you took a small sample for yourself, the German say no, yesterday it was a roll of wire, we bored a hole through it from on end to the other, NOW IT'S A PIPE!!
