Memorial Day With Engineers

May 28, 2007 By Jenny Ryan 5 Comments

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.
