I hear ya...I'm going to have to enlarge the horizontal stabilizer on the scale warbird replica I'm designing...can't wait to see what sort of cascading effect that has...

Does this count?
What is the difference between mechanical engineers and civil engineers?
Mechanical engineers build weapons and civil engineers build targets.
Apologies in advance to any bridge-builders out there...
There was a old joke about Russian aircraft designers- "Figure out the minimum needed to do the job, then double it"
CharlieF - I've heard that one before but it is a good one
Another one is "why do they make sex manuals - because an Electrical Engineer can't do anything that isn't in a book"
How do you tell if an engineer is an extrovert? He looks at YOUR shoes when he talks to you.

Engineer parks his Prius at work, and as he starts walking to the office, he sees a fellow engineer ride up on a brand-new Harley Davidson.
"Where'd you get the motorcycle," he asks.
Other engineer ponders a bit. "It was the strangest thing. I was walking along, and this ravishing blonde rode up up on this motorcycle. She stopped, got off, took off all her clothes, and said, 'Take whatever you want!'"
First engineer nods sagely. "Good choice," he says, "The clothes probably wouldn't have fit."

The graduate with a science degree asks, "Why does it work?"
The graduate with an engineering degree asks, "How does it work?"
The graduate with an accounting degree asks, "How much will it cost?"
The graduate with an arts degree asks, "Do you want fries with that?"
And one of my favorites:
To the optimist, the glass is half full.
To the pessimist, the glass is half empty.
To the engineer, the glass is twice as big as it needs to be.
Good one, think I'll change it to "Technical Inspectors" for work....Originally Posted by Mike Switzer
