"Sometimes someone outside a complex system can come in and point out an answer hidden in plain sight..."

There was the story of the multi-million dollar engineered highway overpass bridge and the roadway engineers were brought in to finish the project with the laying down of a thick, new layer of blacktop roadway underneath. Soon after they had opened all the lanes back up, one of the first vehicles to come down the road and come under the bridge was one of those big, old, over-sized earth moving trucks.

All heard a big clunk!

This truck got hopelessly wedged and stuck under the bridge with the new height of the roadway.

Traffic began backing up for miles. The bridge overpass engineers started to have words with the roadway pavement engineers. The driver of the truck was standing next to his big rig scratching his head.

As all this commotion was happening, a boy comes along on his bicycle. The obviously hidden-in-plain-sight answer occurs to him and he says, "Hey, mister, why don't you just let the air out of the tires?".


-- and that was it!

And it took some mighty big men to simply smile, admit it, and even get in a good belly laugh over it all!
