Good enough.

A mathematician and an engineer are put at one end of a 100 foot long room. At the other end is a gorgeous naked young woman who exhibits all the signs of being ready.

The two men are told: Whoever gets there first can have his way with her, BUT, you may only cover half the remaining distance in each move.

The engineer immediate sets about measure the room, and calculating the distances involved, and begins his first move.

The mathematician looks at him in surprise and says, "What are you doing, man? You'll never get there, it's impossible given the requirements."

The engineer says, "True. But I can get close enough..."

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.

Two engineering students were walking across campus when one said, "Where did you get such a great bike?"

The second engineer replied, "Well, I was walking along yesterday minding my own business when a beautiful woman rode up on this bike. She threw the bike to the ground, took off all her clothes and said, "Take what you want."

The second engineer nodded approvingly, "Good choice; the clothes probably wouldn't have fit."

An architect, an artist and an engineer were discussing whether it was better to spend time with the wife or a mistress. The architect said he enjoyed time with his wife, building a solid foundation for an enduring relationship. The artist said he enjoyed time with his mistress, because of the passion and mystery he found there. The engineer said, "I like both." "Both?" Engineer: "Yeah. If you have a wife and a mistress, they will each assume you are spending time with the other woman, and you can go to the lab and get some work done."

Not only am I shocked that engineering jokes have showed up on TUSCL, I'm absolutely floored that there is such a thing as engineering jokes.

I work at a university where 50% of the graduates are engineers and I am trained in a technical field. Lots of these types of jokes floating around. Its always good to poke fun of our idiosyncrasies and not take life too seriously. Remember, it was an engineer who made sure the brass pole is structurely sound and the stage won't collapse:)

Non-sexual joke, but math related:

A statistician noticed a nervous fellow sitting next to him on a plane. The statistician asked why, and the other fellow says he's afraid of a terrorist bomb on board.

The statistician said, "Don't worry, I've done the calculations. The only thing that has worse odds than a bomb on board an airplane is... two bombs on board. So that's why I brought my own bomb on this plane."
