[Cz-engineering] Trying to get some use of this forum started

[mbeychok]

Hello, all:

This forum is very unused. I thought that I might try to rouse some 
interest with a little humor:

(1) _Understanding Engineers:_
 
Two engineering students, one pushing a bike, were walking across 
a university  campus when the other said, "Where did you get such a   
great bike?" 
 
The second engineer replied, "Well, I was walking along yesterday, 
minding my own business, when a beautiful woman rode up on this bike, 
threw it to the ground, took off all her clothes and said, "Take what 
you want." 
 
The first engineer nodded approvingly and said, "Good choice; her 
clothes probably wouldn't have fit you anyway." 
 
(2) _Understanding Engineers:_
 
To the optimist, the glass is half full. To the pessimist, the glass is 
half empty. To the engineer, the glass is twice as big as it needs to be. 
 
(3)_ __ Understanding Engineers:_
 
A priest, a doctor, and an engineer were waiting one morning for 
a particularly slow group of golfers.  The engineer fumed, "What's with 
those guys? We must have been waiting for fifteen minutes!"   The doctor 
chimed in, "I don't know, but I've never seen such inept golf!"   The 
priest said, "Here comes the greens-keeper.  Let's have a word with 
him."   He said, "Hello George, what's wrong 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 firemen. They lost their sight saving our 
clubhouse from a fire last year, so we always let them play for free 
anytime." The group fell silent for a moment. The priest said, "That's 
so sad. I think I will say a special prayer for them tonight."   The 
doctor said, "Good idea. I'm going to contact my 
ophthalmologist colleague and see if there's anything he can do for 
them."  The engineer said, "Why can't they play at night?" 
 
(4) _Understanding Engineers:_
 
Normal people believe that if it isn't broken, don't fix it. 
Engineers believe that if it isn't broken, it doesn't have enough 
features yet.
