Engineering Humor

Thought the group might enjoy this engineering humor that passed through my work email.

Subject: UNDERSTANDING ENGINEERS......

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.

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

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?"

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, "Actually it must have been a civil
engineer. Who else would run a toxic waste pipeline through a
recreational area?"

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.
