?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.

?---------------------------------------------------

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."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?"
