Jokes, why is it so?

Yesterday I couldnt spell engineer and today I are one !

Don't ya love Engineers ;-)

Q: What is the difference between Mechanical Engineers and Civil Engineers ?
A: Mechanical Engineers build weapons, Civil Engineers build targets."

An engineer is someone who washes his hands before going to the toilet.

An engineering student is walking along when a fellow student arrives on a new bicycle. Impressed, he asks, "Where did you got this beautiful bicycle?" "Well," the second engineering student says, "A couple of days ago I was just walking along when this georgeous blonde pulls up, hops off the bike, rips off all her clothes, and says 'take what you want'." The other engineering student nods and says "Good choice. The clothes probably wouldn't have fit."

Of course they have no sense of humour.....walk up to an Engineer and tell them that their profession is overpayed and a waste of time and money.....just no sense of humour

Actually you will find that a lot of jokes about Engineers have been taken from another joke about an Architect, or a Lawyer etc with the focus profession changed to suit.

Engineers per se don't have different priorities in the world, rather they generally will be conforming to a set of standards/regulations/guidelines and/or briefings taken from the client, usually political or commercial eg. Councils, Large Industry.

As to their humour level, they would generally be no different to similar level professions eg Architects, Lawyers, Doctors, Managers etc.

Tell you one thing,mechanical engineers should all be made to spend five years as mechanics before they are allowed to design anything....Nav.

I think proof of any asserations about engineers should be submitted.

Engineers are perfectly logical and reasonable and as a professional enginner
the proof of my asserations is that I brought a Nissan Patrol.

Just as I thought there are some interesting views here .....BUT

Do you have a certain mindset and then becoming an engineer, or
does being an engineer create the mindset

(references to poultry and poultry products wil be ignored:-))))))

Engineers not funny ??a very good mate of mine gave me a copy of his leather bound book that he wrote for his phd in 1996 ,
a dissertation ,
Signal Processing Techniques for Plant Fault Detection .

the only part of the book that most people can read is the acknowledgements ,
"A special thank you to ---- ------ who has lived with this project for most of the duration ,and for being the most wonderful horizontal research assistant and for moral support and encouragement "
no sense of humour ??

Guys, I think you are being just a tad tough on engineers... Jeeeeeeeeeeez fair suck of the sav.....I think I have an excellent, if totally bizarre sense of humour. You have to think back a few years, not all engineers are Pimply faced tossers....Look at chaps like Brunell & Stephenson... Wow what men of recource they must have been...Just imagine what Mr Stephenson said when he built the "Rocket".... Hell what do I do with a steam locomotive?
Naaaaaaa maybe modern day Engineers do tend to be totally incomprehensible in their outlook....

Hey, you lot! - I resemble these remarks!

And, just for the record, how many of you are going to stop driving your 4WDs and other vehicles on this matter of principle? I mean to say, how could anyone who is so happy to can engineers possible be seen getting around in a machine designed by them?...

There are only two sorts of engineers;

Those who have and those who are going to ...............(insert mistake here)
