Default Engineers

[FONT=Arial][SIZE=4][FONT=Arial]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 second engineer nodded approvingly and said, "Good choice; the clothes probably wouldn't have fit you anyway."[/FONT][/SIZE][/FONT]

Whats the difference between engineers, physicists, and mathematicians? Well, if Pamela Anderson was standing on the opposite side of the room and they were told to walk towards here and each step had to be half the distance of the previous step. The physicist would say oh thats impossible, the mathematician would keep taking steps forever and never actually reach her and the engineer would take a couple of steps and say, "Close enough!"

LOL... Close enough! so true sometimes. Take it from me I am a engineer and I would say somtimes close enough its not a govt. job. Its a joke of course but some design engineers that I know get thinks done in the "ball park figure" if you know what I mean.

Yeah, I am in school to hopefully be an engineer and my teacher always says, eh, close enough!

Hey I'm an engineer! As far as I'm concerned that means I have an appreciation of both function and form......Translated into STR speak it means I know a good set of legs when I see them jsut as I recognise a fine bike/car when i see it!

Three engineering students were gathered together discussing the possible designer 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 said, "Actually it was a civil engineer. Who else would run a toxic waste pipeline through a recreational area?"

My dad is an electrical engineer. I remember well driving in the car and him always talking crap about civil engineers. He pointed out how badly designed the freeway off-ramp was, or the street, or whatever. I really grew to hate civil engineers. And I realized that electrical engineers were really the only ones that know what they're doing.

I am a electrical engineer and I am the same way as your dad. I am always saying who designed these roads, or I would have done it like that ot this, too funny.
