    Understanding Engineers - Take 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 second engineer nodded approvingly and said, "Good choice; the
    clothes probably wouldn't have fit you anyway."

    Understanding Engineers - Take Two

    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 greens 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 greens keeper replied, "Oh, yes. That's a group of blind fire
    fighters. 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.

    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 - Take Three

    Three engineering students were gathered together discussing
    the possible designers of 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 - Take Four

    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 and turn
    me back into a beautiful princess, I will 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

    Don't know what I should take from it that I read these jokes to the DW and she laughs and says 'yup, sounds like you'.

      Yeah, I'm married to an engineer and I've worked with engineers for years. I've seen all these jokes before - and sent them to my engineer buddies. The funny part is that they recognize themselves.

        Another One

        An Engineer in Hell
        An engineer died and reported to the pearly gates. An intern angel, filling in for St. Peter, checked his dossier and grimly said, "Ah, you're an engineer; you're in the wrong place."

        So the engineer was cast down to the gates of hell and was let in. Pretty soon, the engineer became gravely dissatisfied with the level of comfort in hell, and began designing and building improvements. After a while, the underworld had air conditioning, flush toilets, and escalators, and the engineer was becoming a pretty popular guy among the demons.

        One day, God called Satan up on the telephone and asked with a sneer, "So, how's it going down there in hell?"

        Satan laughed and replied, "Hey, things are going great. We've got air conditioning and flush toilets and escalators, and there's no telling what this engineer is going to come up with next."

        God's face clouded over and he exploded, "What? You've got an engineer? That's a mistake; he should never have gotten down there; send him up here."

        Satan shook his head, "No way. I like having an engineer on the staff, and I'm keeping him."

        God was as mad as he had ever been, "This is not the way things are supposed to work and you know it. Send him back up here or I'll sue."

        Satan laughed uproariously, "Yeah, right. And just where are YOU going to get a lawyer?"

            A man is flying in a hot air balloon and realizes he is lost. He reduces height and spots a man down below. He lowers the balloon further and shouts, "Excuse me, can you help me? I promised my friend I would meet him half an hour ago, but I don't know where I am."

            The man below says, "Yes. You are in a hot air balloon, hovering approximately 30 feet above this field. You are between 40 and 42 degrees North latitude, and between 58 and 60 degrees West longitude."

            "You must be an engineer," says the balloonist.

            "I am," replies the man. "How did you know?"

            "Well," says the balloonist, "everything you have told me is technically correct, but I have no idea what to make of your information, and the fact is I am still lost."

            The man below says, "You must be a manager."

            "I am," replies the balloonist, "but how did you know?"

            "Well," says the man, "you don't know where you are, or where you are going. You have made a promise which you have no idea how to keep, and you expect me to solve your problem. The fact is you are in the exact same position you were in before we met, but now it is somehow my fault."

                “Maybe you shouldn't dress like that.”

                “This is a blouse and skirt. I don't know what you're talking about.”

                “You shouldn't wear that body.”

                    Actually, a whole bunch of them apply to me, and I'm a non-engineer (and female!)
