Engineers

[Niehart]

The engineer found himself at the pearly gates. St. Peter looked him up in the book, and found that he was destined for the other place. The engineer protested that this must be a mistake, and that he had lived a righteous life, going to church every week, being faithful to his wife etc. to no avail. About 6 weeks later God reviews the lists and realizes that the engineer has been sent to the wrong place. So he rings up Lucifer and demands that the engineer be sent up. Lucifer says "NO WAY. This guy was the best thing to ever happen here. He's got the AC working, we have running water and cable now too, and next week he thinks we will get internet access and an ice cream machine." God is pissed and yelling says "I'll sue". Lucifer says "ya okay, but where are you going to get a lawyer?"

"Heh, heh, heh," chuckled this engineer.

 

[Silver Ranger]

I have to give this one . One because I am an engineer and one because my wife is a lawyer.

Yep.

Damned lawyers.

That engineer must have been a hell of a lot more useful than (most of) the ones that show up in my plant. About 1 in 30 is useful. Of course, that 1 can work wonders.

As far as the lawyers go... I will leave that alone for now.

Hey, watch it Pops...I resemble that remark.

Lawyers are a pain in the ass...Until you need one. Then they can be like angels from heaven. I know a couple that deserve more than I could ever give.

The rest...well...

Dad was a lawyer and I'm an engineer so ...

RFH, I still have a shirt from P, G & E Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power Plant where I was General Foreman for Bechtel Corporation of the Pipefitters:

"It is now time to shoot all of the Engineers, so we can finally build this Son of a Bitch!"

There used to be a bumper sticker around CA that said, "Diablo Canyon is built better than Jane Fonda".
