Four Engineers

[Tim Frank]

There are four engineers traveling in a car: a mechanical engineer, a chemical engineer, an electrical engineer, and a software engineer ...who works on Microsoft Windows.

The car breaks down and they all have suggestions on what to do.

"Sounds to me as if the pistons have seized," says the mechanical engineer. "We'll have to strip down the engine before we can get the car working again."

"I disagree," says the chemical engineer. "It sounded to me as if the fuel might be contaminated. I think we should clear out the fuel system."

"I thought it might be a grounding problem," says the electrical engineer, "or maybe a faulty plug lead."

They all turn to the software engineer, who has said nothing so far.

"Well?" they all say to the geek. "What do you think?"

"Well," the Microsoftie suggests, "perhaps if we all get out of the car and get back in again...?"

A man was walking though a graveyard when he happened upon an elderely lady standing over a grave. He approached her and said "Hello", and then politely asked her "Did you know this person?"

"Oh yes" she said. "He was my husband Collin. We were maried for 53 years."

"53 years!" the man remarked. "That's wonderful! Did you have any children?"

"No, afraid not" she said. "During those 53 years we never once made love. You see, Collin was an Engineer, and for 53 years all he ever did was stand at the foot of the bed and tell me how great it was going to be when he finally got finished."

Sounds like some lame software engineers....one of them should have had some diagnostic software!!

Re: Four Engineers

You know your an Engineer if:

10. In college you thought Spring Break was a type of metal fatigue
9. At home, you rearrange the dishwasher to maximize dirty dish density
8. You stare at an orange juice container because it says 'concentrate'
7. You know the direction the water swirls when you flush and have used this information to extrapolate your GPS coordinates
6. You own a software program to design the furniture layout in your house
5. You've tried to repair a $5 radio, and used $20 worth of solder to do it
4. You have no life and can prove it mathematically
3. During Thanksgiving Dinner you find yourself calculating the load-bearing capacity of Aunt Martha?s chair
2. You spent more on your calculator than you did on your wedding ring
1. You've already calculated how much money you make per second

Re: Four Engineers

As a product designer, I've worked with all types of engineers for over 13 now and I am loving the stabs. Keep them coming (so I have some fire power).

You know your an Engineer if:

You only have slip on shoes

You only have clip on ties.

You actually have a pocket protector.

Re: Four Engineers

I must be an engineer - I just don't get it. Can you possibly quantify this issue to make it more understandable.

Re: Four Engineers

Next time you're at a party and meet someone who says they're an engineer, say "Cool! Which railroad do you work for?" When they say they're actually an electrical/mechanical/civil, just say "Oh... " and look disappointed.... if they look too hurt, you can say "I'm sure that's interesting too".

Pppphhhttt! Where is the mop so I can clean the coffee off the floor!

I am SOOOO doing that to my brother, he will get a kick out of it, as he's a mechanical engineer.
