Understanding Engineers

Two engineering students were walking across 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. She threw the bike to the ground, took off all her clothes and said, “Take what you want.” “The second engineer nodded approvingly, ‘Good choice; the clothes probably wouldn’t have fit.“

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?“

An architect, an artist and an engineer were discussing whether it was
better to spend time with the wife or a mistress. The architect said he
enjoyed time with his wife, building a solid foundation for an enduring
relationship. The artist said he enjoyed time with his mistress, because
the passion and mystery he found there. The engineer said, “I like
both.” Both?” Engineer: “Yeah. If you have a wife and a mistress, they
will each assume you are spending time with the other woman, and you can
go to the lab and get some work done.”

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 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 a 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 girl friend, but a talking frog, now that’s cool.“
