LEARNING AN ENGINEER

ENGINEERING CASE  NUMBER 1
Two engineering students were biking 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 first engineer nodded approvingly and said,
"Good choice: The clothes probably wouldn't have fit you  anyway."

ENGINEERING CASE NUMBER  2
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.

ENGINEERING CASE NUMBER  3
A priest, a doctor, and an engineer were  waiting one morning for a particularly slow group of golfers. The engineer  fumed, "What's with those guys?

We must have been waiting for fifteen minutes!" 
The doctor chimed in, "I don't know, but I've never seen such inept golf!"
The  priest said, "Here comes the green-keeper. Let's have a word with him." He said, 
"Hello, George. What's wrong with that group ahead of us? They're rather slow,  aren't they?"
The green-keeper replied, "Oh, yes. That's a group of blind  firemen. They lost their sight saving our clubhouse from a fire last year, so we  always let them play for free anytime." The group fell silent for a moment.
The priest said, "That's so sad. I think I will say a special prayer for them tonight."

The doctor said, "Good idea. I'm going to contact my  ophthalmologist colleague and see if there's anything she can do for them."

The engineer said, "Why can't they play at night?"

ENGINEERING CASE NUMBER  4
 What is the difference between mechanical engineers and civil  engineers?
Mechanical engineers build weapons.
Civil engineers build  targets.

ENGINEERING CASE  NUMBER 5
 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?"

ENGINEERING CASE NUMBER  6
Three engineering students were gathered together discussing who must have designed 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, "No, actually it had to have been a civil  engineer. Who else would run a toxic waste pipeline through a recreational  area?"

ENGINEERING CASE NUMBER 7
 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, I'll turn back into a beautiful princess and 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 for one week 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 one 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."
