I always enjoyed this explanation of a Quantity Surveyor
amongst other definitions...
Sub-Contractor: A gambler who never gets to shuffle, cut or deal
Tender Submission: A poker game in which the losing hand wins
Tender Sum: A wild guess carried out to two decimal places
Successful Tender: A contractor who is wondering what he left out
Architect's Estimate: A cost of construction in heaven
Management Contract: The technique of losing your shirt under perfect
control
Completion Date: The point at which liquidated damages begin.
Liquidated Damages: A penalty for failing to achieve the impossible
Quantity Surveyors: People who go in after the war is lost and bayonet
the wounded.
Lawyers: People who go in after the Quantity surveyors and strip the
bodies.
