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.”

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."
