My Father-In-Law: You know how optimists say the glass is half empty, and pessimists say the glass is half full?

My Husband: Yeah.

My Father-In-Law: Do you know what engineers say?

My Husband: They say that the glass is too big.

My Father-In-Law: Exactly. The glass is twice as big as it needs to be.

Ha! I just read a blog where somebody made a comment about someone being a camel violator (to be delicate) and an engineer commented in detail about the physics that would be needed to accomplish such a feat. Love those fellow dorks!

I’ve ruined many a good point folks were trying to make, with thinking like this. It’s part of the curse of being an engineer.

Good one! My husband (the IT)would probably say something like the glass wouldn’t be half full if it had a good anti virus software installed. ;)

Just goes to show that its all in the way you look at it. By the way, hasn’t this engineer ever been told that size isn’t everything?

Yes, my life would be much less entertaining were it not for the presence of engineers.

      In the light of awareness and gentle acceptance, alchemy happens. In the simple act of observing and accepting what is, we transform those parts of our lives that seemed distasteful or unacceptable into our greatest treasures.
