My SIL (son-in-law) is also an engineer, <and my other SIL is an Army Chaplin. <So you engineers might just as well laugh, <it isn't going to get any funnier!!! <As Ever, <Marjorie Moorefield All right you guys, have your fun <GRRRRRRRin> I am an engineer ( or was ) and these jokes are very good. I enjoy them. It is funny, that apparently in Canada and the UK the whole engineering profession is the butt of these jokes. Here in Texas they specifically refer to engineers from A&M ( Agricultural and Mechanical College in Bryan,Texas. It is also a military school of renown ).who are known as Aggies. As an example, an Aggie Firing Squad is one where the condemned man is in the center and the squad is distributed in a circle all around. Will A.
