A very astute friend sent me the following:

Q: When does a person decide to become an engineer?
A: When he realizes he doesn't have the charisma to be an undertaker.

Q: What do engineers use for birth control?
A: Their personalities.

Q: How can you tell an extroverted engineer?
A: When he talks to you, he looks at your shoes instead of his own.

Q: Why did the engineers cross the road?
A: Because they looked in the file, and that's what they did last year.

Q: How do you drive an engineer completely insane?
A: Tie him to a chair, stand in front of him, and fold up road map the
wrong way.


You can tell you're an engineer if:

Choosing between buying flowers for your spouse and upgrading your
RAM is a problem.

You take a cruise so you can go on a personal tour of the engine
room.

In college, you thought Spring Break was meta l fatigue failure.

The salespeople at the local computer store can't answer any of
your questions.

At an air show, you know how fast the skydivers are falling.

For your spouse's birthday you gave a new CD-ROM drive or a Palm
Pilot.

You can quote scenes from any Monty Python movie.

You can type 70 words per minute but you can't read your own
handwriting.

You comment to your wife that her straight hair is nice and
parallel.

You sit backwards on Disney rides so you can see how they do the
special effects.

You have saved every power cord from all your broken appliances.

You have more friends on the Internet than in real life.

You know what http:// stands for.

You see a good design, and have to change it.

You spent more time choosing your calculator than you did your
wedding ring.

You still own a slide rule and know how to use it.

You think that people yawning around you are sleep deprived.

You window shop at Radio Shack.

Your laptop computer cost more than your car.

Your spouse hasn't the foggiest idea of what you do at work.

You've already calculated how much you make per second.

You've tried to repair a $5 radio.
