Understanding Engineers
Take 1:
Two engineering students were walking across campus when one said,
"Where did you get such a great bike?"
The second engineer replied, "Well, I was walking along yesterday
minding my own business when a beautiful woman rode up on this bike.
She took one look at me, threw the bike to the ground, took off all
her clothes and said to me, 'Take what you want' , so I did."
The second engineer nodded approvingly.
"Good choice; the clothes probably wouldn't have fit."
Take 2
To the optimist, the glass is half full.
To the pessimist, the glass is half-empty.
To the engineer, the glass is twice as big as it needs to be.
Take 3
What is the difference between Mechanical Engineers and Civil Engineers?
Mechanical Engineers build weapons and Civil Engineers build targets.
Take 4
Three engineering students were gathered together discussing the
possible designers of the human body. One said, "It was a mechanical
engineer. Just look at all the joints."
Another said, "No, it was an electrical engineer. The nervous system
has many thousands of electrical connections."
The last one said, "Actually it must have been a civil engineer. Who
else would run a toxic waste pipeline through a recreational area?"
Take 5
Normal people believe that if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
Engineers believe that if it ain't broke, it doesn't have enough features yet.
Take 6
An architect, an artist and an engineer were discussing whether it was
better to spend time with the wife or a mistress. The architect said
he enjoyed time with his wife, building a solid foundation for an
enduring relationship. The artist said he enjoyed time with his
mistress, because the passion and mystery he found there. The engineer
said, "I like both."
"Both?"
Engineer: "Yeah. If you have a wife and a mistress, they will each
assume you are spending time with the other woman, and you can go to
the lab and get some work done."
Take 7
An engineer was crossing a road one-day when a frog called out to him
and said, "If you kiss me, I'll turn into a beautiful princess." He
bent over, picked up the frog and put it in his pocket.
The frog spoke up again and said, "If you kiss me and turn me back
into a beautiful princess, I will stay with you for one week." The
engineer took the frog out of his pocket, smiled at it and returned it
to the pocket.
The frog then cried out, "If you kiss me and turn me back into a
princess, I'll stay with you and do ANYTHING you want." Again the
engineer took the frog out, smiled at it and put it back into his
pocket.
Finally, the frog asked, "What is the matter? I've told you I'm a
beautiful princess and that I'll stay with you for a week and do
anything you want. Why won't you kiss me?" The engineer said, "Look,
I'm an engineer. I don't have time for a girl friend, but a talking
frog, now that's cool."
The mystery of the incorrect answer
Young Jack applied for
an engineering job.
A local man applied for the same job and both applicants,
having the same qualifications, were asked to take a test by the department
manager.
Upon completion of the test, both men missed only one question.
The
manager went up to Jack and said "Thank you for your interest, but we've
decided to give the local man the job."
Jack said "Why You gonna be
doing that sir, we both got 9 questions right?"
The manager said, "We
made our decision not on the correct answers, but on the one you missed."
Jack asked "And just how the heck would one incorrect answer be better than the other?"
The manager replied, "Simple, the local man put down on
question #3, 'I don't know', you put down, 'neither do I' ".
The internet, sweet and sour!
I'm under the impression that internet social networks are a pointless waste of good time.
But, guess what?!
I'm here! :-)
People just need to waste some time now and then...
I move for giving up net anonymity to permanently change the way people interact on teh internetz today!
I feel that most are simply not ready to be a part of any social networks, while hiding
behind a sexyhunk911 or bl0wmepwiz nickname.
When one knows that his actions could be traced back to him, only then will the internet hate stop.
That's something worth fighting for... and you know this, if you spend enough time on the net!
Lookie, new post
