Engineer Jokes

My wife is doing a retirement"celebrity roast" for a man who has worked as a petroleum engineer/ nuclear engineer for 36 years and she needs some jokes. I am faithful ya'll will come though.

Question- he rides Triumph motorcycles, these are oil leak prone, yes?

Thanks in advance.

I am not an engineer but you knew that because I did not do a search for the pre- existing thread.

Who knew there was a thread dedicated to engineer jokes?

Plenty of oil leak jokes you can do on the Triumph.

My favorite engineering joke is the one with the bicycle:

Quote:
An engineering student is walking along when a fellow student arrives on a new bicycle. Impressed, he asks, "Where did you got this beautiful bicycle?"

"Well," the second engineering student says, "A couple of days ago I was just walking along when this gorgeous blonde pulls up, hops off the bike, rips off all her clothes, and says 'take what you want'."

The other engineering student nods and says "Good choice. The clothes probably wouldn't have fit."
Copied the above from here which has some more classics: Engineers Jokes at WorkJoke.com - Profession Jokes

How do you know you're speaking with an extroverted engineer?

They're looking down at your shoes.

What do engineers use for birth control?
Their personalities.

Speaking of female engineers, I went to an engineering school.
There were tons of women, but not very many.

A doctor, a lawyer and an engineer are being put to death during the French revolution. The doctor is first in line. The executioner asks if he wants to be head up or head down? He thinks for a minute and says "Head up. I always face my adversity."

They load him into the guillotine. The executioner releases the blade. It falls, but come to a sudden stop, just above his neck.

Thinking this is some sort of divine intervention, they release him.

Next is the lawyer. They ask the same question and he immediately say head up. Again he is loaded, the blade released and again it stops inches above his neck. "I declare that based on the precedent set by the doctor, I must be released!". And so they do.

Finally, they come to the engineer and again ask how he would like to be positioned. "Well, it worked for the other fellows, I'll be head up as well." They start to load him into the guillotine. The engineer looks up and points: "Hey, I think I see your problem!"

My first wife was an engineer. She was crazy. I dated an engineer about 10 years ago, and she was crazy. And then there was the engineer in San Diego, also a bit crazy. Hmmmmmm

An optimist thinks the glass is half full. The pessimist thinks the glass is half empty. The engineer thinks that the glass is the wrong size.
