Engineers-humor

Humor- understanding engineers


Understanding Engineers – Part One


Two engineering students were walking across a university 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, threw it to the ground, took off all her clothes and said, "Take what you want."  


The first engineer nodded approvingly and said, "Good choice; the clothes probably wouldn't have fit you anyway." 



Understanding Engineers – Part Two 


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. 



Understanding Engineers – Part Three


A priest, a doctor, and an engineer were waiting one morning for a particularly slow group of golfers.  The engineer fumed, "What's with those guys?  We must have been waiting for fifteen minutes!"  


The doctor chimed in, "I don't know, but I've never seen such inept golf!"  


The priest said, "Here comes the green-keeper.  Let's have a word with him."  


He said, "Hello George, what's wrong with that group ahead of us?  They're rather slow, aren't they?"  


The green-keeper replied, "Oh, yes.  That's a group of blind firemen.  They lost their sight saving our clubhouse from a fire last year, so we always let them play for free anytime."  


The group fell silent for a moment.  


The priest said, "That's so sad.  I think I will say a special prayer for them tonight."  


The doctor said, "Good idea.  I'm going to contact my ophthalmologist colleague and see if there's anything he can do for them." 


The engineer said, "Why can't they play at night?" 



Understanding Engineers – Part Four 


What is the difference between mechanical engineers and civil engineers?  


Mechanical engineers build weapons. Civil engineers build targets. 



Understanding Engineers – Part Five


The graduate with a science degree asks, "Why does it work?" 


The graduate with an engineering degree asks, "How does it work?" 


The graduate with an accounting degree asks, "How much will it cost?"  


The graduate with an arts degree asks, "Do you want fries with that?"



Understanding Engineers – Part Six   


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. 



Understanding Engineers – Part Seven   


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 then cried out, "If you kiss me and turn me back into a princess, I'll stay with you for one week and do ANYTHING you want. However depraved and intimate you name it." 


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 one week and do anything you want. You can have your way with me. Why won't you kiss me?"  


The engineer said, "Look, I'm an engineer.  I don't have time for a girlfriend, but a talking frog, now that's cool."
