    Default An Engineer or Lawyer?

    An Engineer was unemployed for long time. He could not find a job
    so he opened a medical clinic and puts a sign up outside: "Get your
    treatment for £500, if not treated get back £1,000."

    One Lawyer thinks this is a good opportunity to earn £1,000 and goes
    to his clinic.

    Lawyer: "I have lost taste in my mouth."

    Engineer: "Nurse, please bring medicine from box 22 and put 3 drops
    in the patient's mouth."

    Lawyer: "This is Petrol!"

    Engineer: "Congratulations! You've got your taste back. That will be
    £500."

    The Lawyer gets annoyed and goes back after a couple of days later
    to recover his money.

    Lawyer: "I have lost my memory, I cannot remember anything."

    Engineer: "Nurse, please bring medicine from box 22 and put 3 drops
    in the patient's mouth."

    Lawyer: "But that is Petrol!"

    Engineer: "Congratulations! You've got your memory back. That will
    be £500."

    The Lawyer leaves angrily and comes back after several more days.

    Lawyer: "My eyesight has become weak."

    Engineer: "Well, I don't have any medicine for this. Take
    this £1,000."

    Lawyer: "But this is £500..."

    Engineer: "Congratulations! You got your vision back!

    That will be £500."

    Did I see it here? Don't know!

    How do you tell an engineer who is an extrovert?

    When he's talking to you he is looking at your shoes.

    You obviously haven't met an engineer from Newcastle Uni. When the Engineering Fraternity is universally known as THE FRAT, the biggest drinking club in history, well, they're more likely to be throwing up on your shoes rather than looking at them!

    Every time you make a typo, the errorists win.

    I went to QUT and studied elektrickal eng. I can speel fine not sure wot you're problem is.


    Oh, and CAG, injuneers always dominate the campus club, but we did one better. The elec eng social club had a yearly ball, with the engineering school and the nursing school. Imagine that. I know some families that were started at that event. I also still retain 2 of my EESEC steins from the organised pub crawl.

    That fits with most of the engineers I've ever worked with, plus daughter & SIL - both engineers. Actuaries, though, are reputed to be accountants with their personalities removed.

    Was it an annual 30 pub pub crawl with police presence? That's Newcastle for you!

    Anyway, I was just making the point that I've rarely met an engineer who's introverted. Look at me; letters AND full stops after my name!
