"Those who can do it actually go and do it while those that can't do it tell everyone else how it's done".

"Those who can't do, teach"

We use that at work all the time. Not taking away from teachers, because I could never do their job.

Back when I had to work for a living, our manager was a 'professional engineer'...
we lovingly referred to him as a theoretical genius, but a practical idiot.
He often lived up to both aspects of this...

I used to do lots of renovations and many clients were engineers.
I often refereed to some as professional klutzes.
-An electrical eng. (worked international hydro projects) asked me why some wire was red and some white and why I placed some switch boxes at 4 ft and others at 5 ft. ????
-an automotive eng spliced 2 Suburo's and wondered why the transmission blew up (different tires frt/rear)
-another said to use the 1/2" particle board that he had stacked to renew his roof. (left out in rain it was now about 1" thick)
-one complained that the frost had heaved his septic tank causing a reverse slope preventing drainage. Actual problem was the main flooring beam was so rotted that the house tilted enough to collapse the sewer drain. All his support posts were offset from bearing points.

I soon discovered that PEng's are all theory and not practical!
