Why Engineers are The Best by webcalculator(m): 8:06pm On Jan 20, 2013 |
A manager decided to take a hot air balloon up without really knowing how. He hits a fog bank and can't tell where he is or direction he's going. He lets the balloon down and at a bout 30 feet from the ground he sees a man fishing by a stream. He yells to the man, "Can you tell me where I am!" The man fishing looks up and says, "You are in a hot air balloon about 30 feet in the air over a stream." The manager sighs and yells, "You must be an engineer!" The man fishing says, "Yes, I am. How did you know?" The manager replies, "Because what you've told me is technically correct, but it's of no use to me whatsoever!" The man fishing yells back, "You must be a manager!" The manager, impressed, yells, "Yes, I am! But how did you know THAT?" The engineer looks up with a smile and says, "Because you don't know where you are, you don't know how you got here, you have no technical skills to get yourself out of your situation, but somehow it's my fault now." |

A mathematician, an engineer, and a physicist are being interviewed for a job. In each case, the interview goes along until the last question is asked: "How much is one plus one?" Each of them suspects a trap, and is hesitant to answer. The mathematician thinks for a moment, and says "I'm not sure, but I think it converges". The physicist says "I'm not sure, but I think it's on the order of one" The engineer gets up, closes the door to the office, and says "How much do you want it to be?" |

Three engineers and three accountants are traveling by train to a conference. At the station, thethree accountants each buy a ticket and watch as the three engineers only buy one ticket. "How are three people going to travel on only one ticket?" asks an accountant. "Watch and you'll see," answered an engineer. They all board the train. The accountants take their respective seats but all three engineers cram into a restroom and close the door behind them. Shortly after the train has departed, the conductor comes around collecting tickets. He knocks on the restroom door and says,"Tickets, please!" The door opens just a crack and a single arm emerges with a ticket in hand. The conductor takes it and moves on. The accountants see this and agree it is a clever idea. So after the conference, the accountants decide to copy the engineers on the return trip and save some money. When they get to the station, they buy one ticket for the return trip. To their astonishment, the engineers don't buy a ticket at all. "How are you going to travel without a ticket?" says one perplexed accountant. "Watch and you'll see," answered an engineer. When they board the train all three accountants cram into a restroom and the three engineers cram into another one nearby. The train departs. Shortly afterwards, one of the engineers leaves his restroom and walks over to the restroom where the accountants are hiding. He knocks on the door and says, "Tickets, please!" You can now complete the story!! :-P :-D |
