Why does an engineer laugh twice at a joke?

Because he laughs once when he hears it and once again when he gets it.

Afternoon Bump for Bucks.

[Lady Jag]

New Balance.

A mechanical, electrical and computer engineer were on their way to a meeting when suddenly the car in which they were riding broke down. “It’s probably the cable that opens the valve on the carb has come loose, pop the hood and I’ll have us back on the road in no time.” quipped the mechanical engineer.

“I doubt it,” replied the electrical engineer, “It has been observed that 83.2 % of similar failures result from the distributor contacts becoming corroded or misaligned, I’ll clean the contacts and we’ll be on our way.”

“No, no, no!” cried the computer engineer “This car is equipped with a state of the art computer, what we need to do is turn the key off, all get completely out of the car, then get back in and it should start like normal.”

“No, no, no!” cried the computer engineer “This car is equipped with a state of the art computer, what we need to do is turn the key off, all get completely out of the car, then get back in and it should start like normal.”

LOL!
But first they must close all the windows.....
Don't you think?

[gpapa]

No, no. Must also lock the doors to reset the security system.

[Fiddlstix]

LOL! Well, obviously that cars computer wasn't using Micro$loth software.......
Else "closing the windows" would be at the top of the list....
LOL

[afnamvet]

Bambi and mom must be checking out that tile job I did or they’re waiting to get out of this gawd awful cold weather to drink a cup of hot swiss miss instant. : )

Three engineers were in the bathroom standing at the urinals. The first engineer finished and walked over to the sink to wash his hands. He then proceeded to dry his hands very carefully. He used paper towel after paper towel and ensured that every single spot of water on his hands was dried. Turning to the other two engineers, he said, "At Hewlett Packard, we are trained to be extremely thorough."

 

The second engineer finished his task at the urinal and he proceeded to wash his hands. He used a single paper towel and made sure that he dried his hands using every available portion of the paper towel. He turned and said, "At Lockheed-Martin, not only are we trained to be extremely thorough, but we are also trained to be extremely efficient."

 

The third engineer finished and walked straight for the door, shouting over his shoulder, "At Apple Computer, Inc. we don't pee on our hands."

 

[Jim Robinson]

Woo hoo!!

We have incoming:

$100 from Massachusetts
$20 from Ohio
$25 from Oregon

Thank you all very much!!

FREEPATHON CONTEST!  - MEMORABLE MOMENTS IN MOVIES !!!

 

Of all the movies you've seen in your lives are there some scenes or lines that will stick in your minds forever?

If there are, we want to read them right here as part of our contest.

 

·        Your entries can be lines by an actor(s) or moments of dead silence.

·        They can be scenes that are humorous, musical, dramatic, satirical, fantasy, mystery, romantic, villainous, horrific, etc.

·        They can be great battle scenes or one-on-one magic moments.

·        They can be scenes from the silent era or from today's showing at your nearby Bijou......

 

But for this contest, your entries must be memorable SCENES or lines from a single SCENE.

Post TWO memorable scenes of your choice. (This will be called a PAIR. You may post one pair now, or one pair now and one later as the contest progresses.)  

Limit is TWO PAIRS per entrant in the run of the contest.

 

AT THE END OF THE CONTEST $200 WILL BE CONTRIBUTED TO THE FREEPATHON IN HONOR OF THE WINNERS!
