Well, as you all know, this blog is supposed to be a place for me to write down whatever’s on my mind. Unfortunately, all that’s been on my mind recently is lots of Mechanics and Aerodynamics mumbo jumbo. A word of advice, if you’re planning on going into engineering, make sure you understand that is pretty much all you’ll be doing. But I digress. All this studying hasn’t really given me time to think of things to write. So, desperate for ideas, I thought I’d put some of my favorite engineering jokes here. Yes, most of them are silly, but I find them entertaining, so enjoy!
Top 10 reasons to date an engineer (there are lots of these, but these are from shirts at UC):
10. We won’t cheat…we barely have time for your relationship much a second one.
9. We do it with more torque.
8. Learn about the benefits of friction and viscosity.
7. We are trained to do it right the first time.
6. We have significant figures.
5. We’re used to pulling all nighters.
4. FREE body diagrams.
3. We are always willing to experiment.
2. We know it’s not the length of the vector that counts, but how you apply the force.
1. Projectice motion: need I say more.
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 systems many thousands of electrical connections.”
The last said, “Actually it was a civil engineer. Who else would run a toxic waste pipeline through a recreational area?”
And my favorite engineering joke of all
Although locked in fierce competition for what seems like forever, God and the Devil meet once every week for coffee just to catch up with each other. One week they’re in heaven and the next they’re in hell. When it was God’s turn to host last week, the Devil was whistling a happy tune as he walked through the gates and wore a huge smile as he plopped down in the golden chair. As he poured a cup, God said, “You look pretty pleased with yourself.” “Yeah,” said the Devil, “Things are really looking up since I got that engineer last week. He’s put in escalators and flush toilets, and he even found a way to control the heat in those old furnaces. I’ve been meaning to thank you for turning him away up here.” God looked stunned, and almost spilled coffee into the saucer. “You know that you’re not supposed to get any engineers,” God said. “Peter was breaking in some new help at the gates last week, and they must have made a mistake. Just send him back up and we’ll straighten it out.” But the Devil just chuckled and said, “No. I think I’ll keep him. He was talking about looking into better ventilation this week. I can see why you keep them all for yourself.” “Send him back,” demanded God “No,” smirked the Devil. God thundered, “Send him back, or…” “Or what?” the Devil asked. “Or I’ll sue,” finished God. The Devil chuckled again. “Where are you going to get a lawyer?”
Hope you liked them!
Good job finding something to write about, despite not having anything to think about besides school work! Made me laugh.
i think i’m a little nerdy. i laughed a little more than a little.
