Understanding Engineers-Take Eight
An architect, a fine arts painter and an engineer were discussing whether it was better to spend time with one’s wife or his mistress.
The architect said, “I enjoy time with my wife. This helps build a solid foundation for an enduring relationship.”
The fine arts painter said, “I enjoy time with my mistress, because of the passion and the mystery I find there.”
The engineer said, “I like both.” “Both?” “Yeah. If you have a wife and a mistress, each will assume you are spending time with the other and you can go to the lab and get some work done.”

Understanding Engineers-Take Four
There was an engineer who had an exceptional gift for fixing all things mechanical. After serving his company loyally for over 30 years, he happily retired.
Several years later the company contacted him regarding a seemingly impossible problem they were having with one of their multimillion-dollar machines. They had tried everything and everyone else to get the machine to work but to no avail. In desperation, they called on the retired engineer who had solved so many of their problems in the past.
The engineer reluctantly took the challenge. He spent a day studying the huge machine. At the end of the day, he marked a small “y” in chalk on a particular component of the machine and stated, “This is where your problem is”.
The part was replaced and the machine worked perfectly again. The company received a bill for $50,000 from the engineer for his service. The company demanded an itemized accounting of his charges.
The engineer responded briefly:
One chalk mark: $ 1.00
Knowing where to put it: $49,999.00
It was paid in full and the engineer retired again in peace.
You gotta love this logic
Understanding Engineers-Take Three
A minister, a doctor and an engineer were waiting one morning for a particularly slow group of golfers.
The engineer fumed, “What’s with these guys? We must have been waiting for 15 minutes!”
The doctor chimed in, “I don’t know, but I’ve never seen such ineptitude!”
The Minister said, “Here comes the greens-keeper. Let’s ask him.”
“Hey George. Say, what’s with that group ahead of us? They’re rather slow, aren’t they?”
The greens-keeper replied, “Oh, yes, that’s a group of blind firefighters. They lost their sight, saving our clubhouse from a fire last year, so we always let them play for free anytime.”
The group was silent for a moment, then the minister said, “That’s so sad. I think I will say a special prayer for them tonight.”
The doctor said, “Good idea. And I’m going to contact my ophthalmologist buddy and see if there’s anything he can do for them.”
The engineer said, “Why can’t these guys play at night?”
