Subject: Engineer joke
Written By: Taoist on 10/05/02 at 01:09 p.m.
How do you tell the difference between a scientist and an engineer?
Stand them in opposing corners of a room. Place an attractive (and naked) member of the opposite sex in the centre of the room, and tell them to approach that person by successively halving the distance between themselves and the object of thier desire.
Then wait.....
The first to leave the room is the scientist, who has worked out that he will never reach his object of desire.
The engineer, however, has realised that he will get close enough for all practical purposes!
