As you go through life, quotes generally fall into one of several categories: (Being PC now)
Not worthy
Maybe news
OMG was that really said
Rememberable
Re-quotable
The wisdom of the ages
Perfect
This one by Bill Nye (The Science Guy) falls between Re-quotable and the Wisdom of the ages:
"We don't want everyone to be an engineer. The fashion crisis alone would be troubling."
I read that the day after SWMBO said,
"You can't wear those jeans to a doctor appointment. You can only wear them to Walmart."
Yes I am a retired engineer.

Rrich, I empathise. Years of wearing shorts & T-shirt at work in the field, and in the workshop since I retired, have convinced me that they are appropriate to wear anywhere.

I have told my daughter emphatically it will be blue singlet,stubbies and thongs.
After a trip to Lapland, she has now decided that might be a "cool" place to get married.

I did concede and wear a suit, but as #1 daughter wore a black wedding dress I could probably have got away with shorts & T-shirt. (No, she's not a Goth, it was a very tasteful oriental design.)

The number of people who have said to me I am remarkably articulate for an engineer....Upon further inquiry I usually discover their previous experience was of civil engineers...Hmm...
It is lucky I didn't study medicine. I would have killed so many patients, not through malpractice but rather intolerance...

I did manage to go through my daughter's wedding service & most of the photos with the zip fly on my (hired) suit undone.
My excuse was that I was rebelling against wearing a suithttp://d1r5wj36adg1sk.cloudfront.net/images/smilies/whistling2.gif

Deleting a post is normally done by the Moderators or Admins. There are a couple of ways of notifying the Moderators or Admins with the most effective been reporting the post(the little triangle at the bottom of the post). This sends a message to the moderators and admins and when one is free it gets looked at from there.
