So, you wanna be an engineer?

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."



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.



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
fire-fighters. 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?"


TAKE FOUR

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


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?"


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?"


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.


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?" 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 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
girl friend, but a talking frog, now that's cool."
