Understanding Engineers

Denny at Grouchy Old Cripple has six wonderful tales that can help you to understand the mental processes of an Engineer. Here is one of them:
The difference between a mathematician and an engineer. An engineer and a mathematician are put in a room. At the other end of the room is a beautiful naked woman. They are told that every time a bell is rung they may move half the distance to the woman.

The mathematician: I'll never get there.
The engineer: Start ringing.

If you were a political science major you probably didn't get that joke. Have one of your coworkers at Pizza Hut explain it to you.
Five more where this one came from -- all good! Posted by DaveH at April 14, 2006 8:32 PM
