Re: Any Ladies Present?
This may well apply in the understanding engineers topic, however the debate on the qualifcations theme that has gone on here made this thread the obvious choice for this posting.
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 fitted you anyway.”Understanding Engineers – Take 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 – Take Three
What is the difference between mechanical engineers and civil engineers?
Mechanical engineers build weapons and civil engineers build targets.Understanding Engineers – Take Four
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 – Take Five
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 Six
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.————————————————————————————-
There were actually 10 of these, but 4 of them were not really applicable, just old jokes recycled with a different header.

Re: Any Ladies Present?
Hey Chris something else we have in common, you completed a cartoghraphy degree while I passed my boy scout cartography badge, pretty much amounts to the same thing really I reckon given that students dont really do any work away from the student bar anyhow.
Mind you, maybe you could do a better job than the guy who designed this and who is to blame for getting me lost severral times today.

Re: Any Ladies Present?
Sorry to be totally unPC here, but how many women would work on macines full of spiders and rat droppings, kneel on grotty floors surrounded by the stench of filth and get their hands and arms cut to ribbons because (italian) manufacturers are unwilling to remove sharp edges etc. Most women have far more sense. (Apart from customers, of course)
