Engineers can't spell or write very well. I know I are one!

So, am I an exception? I can both spell and write correctly. Graduated in 1972 :)

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.>
The glass is always full - it contains some liquid and the rest is air.

There come a point in time with every project that one must shoot the engineer and begin production!

Before retiring, I worked for a major computer company. One segment of the workforce was "computer engineer" who fixed broken computers.
In the men's room, how do you tell the difference between a "computer engineer" and a "marketing rep"?
Answer: The marketing rep does #1 and then washes his hands. The computer engineer washes his hands and then does #1.

When I heard that one many decades ago it was about chemists.
Later, I heard it again, but it was about microbiologists.

A mathematician and a physicist were asked the following question:
Suppose you walked by a burning house and saw a hydrant and a hose not connected to the hydrant. What would you do?
P: I would attach the hose to the hydrant, turn on the water, and put out the fire.
M: I would attach the hose to the hydrant, turn on the water, and put out the fire.
Then they were asked this question:
Suppose you walked by a house and saw a hose connected to a hydrant. What would you do?
P: I would keep walking, as there is no problem to solve.
M: I would disconnect the hose from the hydrant and set the house on fire, reducing the problem to a previously solved form.
