I always enjoyed reading this one, my favourite? Quantity Surveyors of course!
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.
