The Great Detective

Recently catching up on Poirots on Netflix, it struck me that, sad to say, I would not make a particularly good detective.  "Say it isn't so" you, dear readers, are no doubt crying.  But I must disappoint.

Engineers are lousy detectives - we plod along a path of analysis until things are discovered and such.  This is not detecting.  Add into the mix being a curmudgeon - I must maintain my air of superiority, so keen attention to details is not in the offing.

And there you have it - crimes could occur right under my upturned nose.  NOT good detecting.
