Engineer Explained...nyuk, nyuk

• Messages sorted by:[ date ][ thread ][ subject ][ author ]

Greetings Saints in Jesus name!

This is a truly great nyuk, nyuk that my brother (a civil engineer with 
Mobil corporation in New Orleans) sent me last week.  It explains why 
engineers are such a funny breed.

However... due to *some* of the content of this nyuk, nyuk.... I deem it
appropriate that you've got to ask for it.  Yep... you've gotta write me
at     tgnally@prairienet.org  -or-  tnally@csci.csc.com and ask me for
a copy of it....

As a preview, I'll show the first couple of paragraphs....

Bro. Tyler

Engineer humor.  You should appreciate this.
     
Engineers Explained
     
People who work in the fields of science and technology are not like other 
people.  This can be frustrating to the nontechnical people who have to deal 
with them.  The secret to coping with technology-oriented people is to 
understand their motivations.  This chapter will teach you everything you need 
to know.  I learned their customs and mannerisms by observing them, much the 
way Jane Goodall learned about the great apes, but without the hassle of 
grooming.
     
Engineering is so trendy these days that everybody wants to be one.  The word 
"engineer" is greatly overused.  If there's somebody in your life who you think 
is trying to pass as an engineer, give him this test to discern the truth.
     
ENGINEER IDENTIFICATION TEST
     
You walk into a room and notice that a picture is hanging crooked. 
You...
     
A. Straighten it.
B. Ignore it.
C. Buy a CAD system and spend the next six months designing a solar-powered, 
self-adjusting picture frame while often stating aloud your belief that the 
inventor of the nail was a total moron.
