I am a Chemical Engineer from Penn State. My DH thinks engineers are a special breed:rolleyes1 :rolleyes1 ;) which I'm sure if you are an engineer or are married to one, you can understand. Anyhow, someone sent me this about engineers this morning, and I thought it was cute.


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." !

UNDERSTANDING ENGINEERS - TAKE 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 - 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 1 5 minutes!"
The doctor chimed in, "I don't know, but I've n ever 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, then 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 must have been a civil engineer. Who else would run a toxic waste pipeline through a recreational area?"

UNDERSTANDING ! ENGIN EERS - 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 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, that's cool."
 
Hi! :wave:

I'm also an engineer...I make targets!;) (see UNDERSTANDING ENGINEERS - TAKE FOUR)
 
LOL, I'm a "retired" engineer....I'll have to send this on to my engineer friends and cousins (what can I say....apparently our family breeds them...looks like my son will be the first of the next generation....)
 
My DD almost is! In year 4 of a 5 year Eng-Chem course.

You ARE indeed a "Special Breed"! haha..

:rolleyes1
 

LOL, I'm a "retired" engineer....I'll have to send this on to my engineer friends and cousins (what can I say....apparently our family breeds them...looks like my son will be the first of the next generation....)
My family breeds them too,:eek:

I build the nervous system.
 
I love this thread! Those are so funny!

I used to make targets. I "retired" when I had my first child 9 years ago.
 
Ugggg. I have to work with them all day....the jokes are spot on too!

Even I am included in Take 5.
 
Those are great!:rotfl: My DH, DDad, DFIL, both DSIL's and DBIL are all engineers, so I can see so much of them in those jokes! #7 fits my DH perfectly!
 
bwahahahaha

My dh and his twin brother are engineers. My MIL and her dh were a draftsmen for years at Boeing. Our 15yo dd is enrolled at a special magnet school which specializes in engineering and computers and I consider her the third generation in our family to go into the engineering field. I rarely forward emailed jokes, but this one would make them all laugh. Thanks for sharing it.
