I find engineers have a sense of humour with a delightful sense of irony.

Doing tours of the only tidal power generating plant in North America, I meet many engineers. Often their wife will advise me "My husband is an engineer".
Sometimes my mouth runs away with me and I say something like, "I wouldn't have known. His shoes are tied!"

In a way, we are all just big boys, playing with big toys.
