    Oh, I suspected that engineers don't have a sense of humor. Do engineers wear pocket protectors or is that just accountants?

    I can cover both professions in one joke:

    Once upon a time there were three men: a doctor, a city planner, and an engineer. For some reason all three offended the king and were sentenced to die on the same day.
    The day of the execution arrived, and the doctor was led up to the guillotine. As he strapped the doctor to the guillotine, the executioner asked, "Head up or head down?"
    "Head up," said the doctor.
    "Blindfold or no blindfold?"
    "No blindfold."
    So the executioner raised the axe, and z-z-z-z-ing! Down came the blade--and stopped barely an inch above the doctor's neck. Well, the law stated that if an execution didn't succeed the first time the prisoner had to be released, so the doctor was set free.
    Then the city planner was led up to the guillotine.
    "Head up or head down?" said the executioner.
    "Head up."
    "Blindfold or no blindfold?"
    "No blindfold."
    So the executioner raised his axe, and z-z-z-z-ing! Down came the blade--and stopped an inch above the planner's neck. Well, the law stated that if the execution didn't succeed the first time the prisoner had to be released, so the planner was set free.
    Finally the engineer was led up to the guillotine.
    "Head up or head down?"
    "Head up."
    "Blindfold or no blindfold?"
    "No blindfold."
    So the executioner raised his axe, but before he could cut the rope, the engineer yelled out:
    "WAIT! I see what the problem is!"

    Bravo! Yep, a true engineer.

    The seven-year old girl told her mom, "A boy in my class asked me to play doctor."
    "Oh, dear," the mother nervously sighed. "What happened, honey?"
    "Nothing, he made me wait 45 minutes and then double-billed the insurance company."
    If you want your spouse to listen and pay strict attention to every word you say, talk in your sleep.

    Ha. Ha. And Ha.



    Glad I didn't go to law school.

    You're an engineer so you can hardly be technology-challenged, so what's your excuse for dismissing my invitation of a game of Words With Friends - other than you know you will lose?

    I hate Facebook with a passion.

    It's actually a phone app - scrabble.

    It's okay though; I'm happy to remain undefeated

    Me too, no FB.

    I also hate smartphones. You believe I still use a flip phone? All I want/need from a
    cell phone is to send/receive phone calls. That's it! No emails, no web surfing, no apps.

    So I guess you remain undefeated.

    Hey, we all have to have an excuse.

    I believe you though. I know you.
