Engineers

An Engineer had been out of work for a long time. He was beginning to despair, when he saw an ad for an accountant. He thought “I work with numbers all the time. How hard can accounting be?” So he went for an interview.

As he sat in the waiting room, he noticed dozens of other engineers also waiting to be interviewed for the accounting job. His heart sank. However, the interview went very well, so he was feeling optimistic. Just as he was getting up to leave, the interviewer asked “How much is 6 + 7?”

The engineer panicked. He didn’t have his graphing calculator – what was he to do? He thought for a moment and said “Twelve”.

He rushed home, grabbed his calculator and was dismayed to see the answer was 13. He figured he’d completely blown it.

The next day he got a call and was offered the job. “But I got the question wrong” he blurted.

The interviewer replied, “Yeah, but you were the closest.”
 
Heheheheheeh I used to tell the design Engeneers at work
"The only Engeneers around here are the ones that operate the Locomotive"
Besides, If they were worth thier bread and butter they wouldn`t have been working for the Government when they could have recieved more pay elsewhere.
 
When I worked with a bunch of engineers, I had a scrolling message screen saver saying

Liberal Arts major, will think for money.
 
I think I posted this before, but relevant to this thread:

An architect is said to be one who knows a little about a great number of things.

An engineer is said to be one who knows a great deal about a few things.

A contractor is said to be one who starts out knowing everything about everything, but soon ends up knowing nothing about anything, due to his association with architects and engineers.
