    Understanding Engineers - Take One

    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 threw the
    bike to the ground, took off all her clothes and said,
    "Take what you want." "The second engineer nodded
    approvingly, 'Good choice; the clothes probably
    wouldn't have fit."

    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 - Take Three

    A pastor, a doctor and an engineer were waiting one
    morning for a particularly slow group of golfers. The
    engineer fumed, "What's with these guys? We must have
    been waiting for 15 minutes!" The doctor chimed in, "I
    don't know, but I've never seen such ineptitude!" The
    pastor said, "Hey, here comes the greens keeper. Let's
    have a word with him."

    "Hi George! Say, what's with that group ahead of us?
    They're rather slow, aren't they?" The greens keeper
    replied, "Oh, yes, that's a group of blind
    firefighters. They lost their sight saving our
    clubhouse from a fire last year, so we always let them
    play for free anytime." The group was silent for a
    moment. The pastor said, "That's so sad. I think I
    will say a special prayer for them tonight." The
    doctor said, "Good idea. And I'm going to contact my
    ophthalmologist buddy and see if there's anything he
    can do for them." The
    engineer said, "Why can't these guys play at night?"

    Understanding Engineers - Take Four

    What is the difference between Mechanical Engineers
    and Civil Engineers?
    Mechanical Engineers build weapons and Civil Engineers
    build targets.


    Understanding Engineers - Take 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 - Take Six

    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 was a civil engineer. Who else
    would run a toxic waste pipeline through a
    recreational area?"


    Understanding Engineers - Take Seven

    "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 - Take Eight

    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?"
    "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."

    Understanding Engineers - Take Nine

    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 girlfriend, but a
    talking frog, now that's cool."

    How many Electrical Engineering Professors does it take to screw in a light bulb?

    Only ONE to stand and hold the bulb, because the world revolves around him!:Smarty:

    I must admit that was true for most of the ones I had.

    That's funny!

    ...and true. :laugh:

    Engineer jokes are always more accurate... it's by design :grin:

    one more for you:

    "A normal person will see a crooked picture on the wall and straighten it.

    An engineer will see the picture, spend 3 months in a basement developing a solar powered picture straightener with self levelling adjustment while complaining about what an idiot the designer of the nail was."

    ...any other Iron Ring'ers out there?
