Giggles & Bits: Understanding Engineers

Even if you don’t know any engineers I think you will enjoy this!

Understanding Engineers One:
Two  engineering students were walking 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 fitted you, anyway.”

Understanding Engineers Two:
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..

Understanding Engineers Three:
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 he  can do for them.”
The engineer said, “Why can’t they play at night?”

Understanding Engineers Four:
What is the  difference between mechanical engineers and civil engineers?
Mechanical  engineers build weapons.  Civil engineers build targets.

Understanding Engineers Five:
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?”

Understanding Engineers Six:
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?”

Understanding Engineers Seven:
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.

Understanding Engineers Eight:
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 then cried out, “If you kiss  me and turn me into a princess, I’ll stay with you for one year 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 year 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.”

You Know Me?

Every time I look at a mirror, it startles me and I scream a little.

I walked into Sissy’s Beauty shop, told her what I wanted, and she did it. So, I should expect my hair to be different – right?  However, I am still surprised when I get a good glance.  Only Ziva, who knows its me by scent and the sound of my voice, has not looked at me strange.

I catch hubby staring at me. He is still trying to adjust and it has been 3 days. I apologize for not posting a photo of the “new” me. It’s not because I’m ashamed of the hair – I have not had a chance to gussie-up since my house-guests arrived.  Yes, I am that vain.

All my friends recognize me (from the front) right away.

This must be why they make you move when you go into witness protection. Changing your hair color to reddish copper won’t do it.

Giggles & Bits Thursday – A Funny Story

My Sis sent me an email with a funny story. Thanks to her, we have something to laugh about today!

**********************************************

SIPPING VODKA
A new Priest at his first mass was so nervous he could hardly speak..  After mass he asked the Monsignor how he had done.
The Monsignor replied, “When I am worried about getting nervous on the pulpit, I put a glass of vodka next to the water glass.  If I start to get nervous, I take a sip.”
So next Sunday he took the Monsignor’s advice..  At the beginning of the sermon, he got nervous and took a drink.  He proceeded to talk up a storm.
Upon his return to his office after the mass, he found the following note on the door:
1)  Sip the vodka, don’t gulp.
2)  There are 10 commandments, not 12..
3)  There are 12 disciples, not 10…
4)  Jesus was consecrated, not constipated.
5)  Jacob wagered his donkey, he did not bet his ass.
6)  We do not refer to Jesus Christ as the late J.C.
7)  The Father, Son, and Holy Ghost are not referred to as Daddy, Junior and the Spook.
8)  David slew Goliath; he did not kick the shit out of him..
9)  When David was hit by a rock and was knocked off his donkey, don’t say he was stoned off his ass.
10)  We do not refer to the cross as the ‘Big T.’
11)  When Jesus broke the bread at the last supper he said, “Take this and eat it for this is my body..”   He did not say, “Eat me.”
12)  The Virgin Mary is not called ‘Mary with the Cherry’.
13)  The recommended grace before a meal is not: Rub-A-Dub-Dub thanks for the grub, Yeah God.
14)  Next Sunday there will be a taffy pulling contest at St. Peter’s not a peter pulling contest at St. Taffy’s.

Thanks again, Sue!!
