Understanding Engineers

(Don't feel singled out!  We'll pick on everyone before it's over!)

An engineer was crossing a road one day when a frog called out to him and said, "If you kiss me, I'll turn into a beautiful princess." He bent over, picked up the frog and put it in his pocket.

The frog spoke up again and said, "If you kiss me and turn me back into a beautiful princess, I will stay with you for one week." The engineer took the frog out of his pocket, smiled at it and returned it to the pocket.

The frog then cried out, "If you kiss me and turn me back into a beautiful princess, I'll stay with you forever and give you ANYTHING you want." Again the engineer took the frog out, smiled at it and put it back into his pocket.

Finally, the frog asked, "What’s the matter? I've told you I'm a beautiful princess, that I'll stay with you forever and give you anything you want. Why won't you kiss me?"


The engineer said, "Look I'm an engineer. I don't have time for a girlfriend, but a talking frog, now THAT'S cool."

MEET PAT MARR

PAT MARR, DISGUISED AS A "NORMAL HUMAN BEING"

Pat Marr is the contributing editorial cartoonist for BizWatchOnline. He’s our kind of guy. BizWatchOnline wanted to know about the fountain’s of Pat’s inspiration, and here’s what he said:

"AS A CHILD I LACKED GOOD LOOKS, TALENT, SKILLS OF ANY KIND, INTELLECT AND CHARM, SO I WAS FORCED TO DEVELOP A SENSE OF HUMOR. HUMOR IS THE LUBRICANT OF LIFE; IT MINIMIZES ALL SORTS OF FRICTION, BETTER THAN WD40, THE OLD STANDBY."

"CARTOONING IS NOT MY FULL TIME JOB. I JUST DO IT TO VENT IDEAS. FROM A MYERS-BRIGGS PERSONALITY PERSPECTIVE, I AM AN INTP. INTPs TEND TO BE IDEA DRIVEN, AND THAT IS CERTAINLY TRUE OF ME. AS SUCH, I DON'T CONSIDER MYSELF TO BE AN ARTIST AS MUCH AS PERSON WHO PUTS IDEAS INTO A GRAPHICAL FORM. IN FACT, TO ME, DRAWING IS A VERY SMALL PART OF CARTOONING; THE PRIMARY SKILL IS THE ABILITY TO CONDENSE A COMPLEX IDEA INTO ITS SMALLEST FORM: A SINGLE PANEL."

"THINK OF ME AS A BUTTERKNIFE IN THE GREAT DRAWER OF LIFE; NOT AS SHARP AS OTHER INTPs, BUT I WON'T USUALLY STAB YOU, AND I'M KIND OF USEFUL."
