Engineer joke:

A rabbi, a priest, and an engineer were sentenced to die by guillotine. The priest went first. The executioner asked if he had any final requests.

"Yes, I do," he said. "I want you to put me in there face up, so that the instant that blade falls I can see the face of God." No one could see anything wrong with that, so the priest was positioned face-up and the guillotine was activated. But the blade didn't fall.

"It's not your day to die," the executioner said. "Go your way."

The rabbi was next, and when asked if he had any final requests, he replied that what the priest had said sounded pretty good to him, so he wanted to go face-up also. Once again, the blade didn't fall.

"God has spared your life," the executioner said. "Go your way."

When the engineer was brought up, he was asked if he wanted to go face-up. "Sure, whatever," he said. But as the executioner prepared to try to drop the blade one more time, the engineer, who had been staring up into the apparatus, called out - "Wait! I see the problem!"

I guess they are obsessed with fixing stuff. That's why i told them i shouldn't join the faculty of engineering.But, it's too late now anyway.
Funny one by the way.Keep it going.

I tried to get my daughter, who is 18, to go into engineering but she declined. I think she'd be a good one, though.

Are engineers in Egypt known for being socially backward? Around here they are. An engineer I know told me this one: How can you recognize an extroverted engineer? He looks at your shoes when he talks to you, instead of his own.
