Understanding Engineers

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

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.


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."

 

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."
