Since it's Friday, and the jokes have been flying anyway...
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."

Comprehending Engineers...
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.

Comprehending Engineers...
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." (dramatic pause) "Hi Fred. 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?"

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

Comprehending Engineers...
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 said, "Actually it was a civil engineer. Who else would run
a
toxic waste pipeline through a recreational area?"
*****************************
Comprehending Engineers...
"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."

Comprehending Engineers...
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 of 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".

Comprehending Engineers...
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 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, 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!"
