Hi All,

Something amusing I recieved on another list......

You might be an engineer if ...
.. choosing to buy flowers for your girlfriend or upgrading your RAM is a
moral dilemma.
.. you take a cruise so you can go on a personal tour of the engine room.
.. in college you thought Spring Break was metal fatigue failure.
.. the sales people at the local computer store can't answer any of your
questions
.. at an air show you know how fast the skydivers are falling.
.. you bought your wife/girlfriend (husband/boyfriend)a new CD-ROM drive
(or a Palm Pilot) for her birthday.
.. you can quote scenes from any Monty Python movie.
.. you can type 70 words per minute but can't read your own handwriting.
.. you comment to your wife that her straight hair is nice and parallel.
.. you sit backwards on the Disneyland rides to see how they do the special
effects.
.. you have saved every power cord from all your broken appliances.
.. you have more friends on the Internet than in real life.
.. you know what http:// stands for.
.. you look forward to Christmas so you can put the kids' toys together.
.. you see a good design and still have to change it.
.. you spent more on your calculator than you did on your wedding ring.
.. you still own a slide rule and know how to use it.
.. you think that people yawning around you are sleep deprived.
.. you window shop at Radio Shack
...your laptop computer costs more than your car.
.. your wife hasn't the foggiest idea of what you do at work.
.. You've already calculated how much you make per second.
.. you've tried to repair a $5 radio.

Personally I found it quite scarey......I think I'm being watched :-))
