Or the difference between an engineer and mathematician ...

Place an engineer and mathematician on one goal line of a football
field with a comely cheerleader on the other goal line.  If you tell
the engineer and mathematician the can go to her but can only go half
the distance at a time, the mathematician will walk off the field
saying "I can't get there".  The engineer will walk toward the
cheerleader saying "I can get close enough!"

73,
