w00t! TGIF! A much better week than last but none-the-less, it's Friday and time for a little unwinding before the weekend. Speaking of which, if you're in central TX and have no compassion for your taste-buds, join me at the Austin Chronicle Hot Sauce Festival on Sunday.
The divorcees knife set:
1. You can study hard and still fail.
2. You can not study and pass.
3. Multiple choice does not mean easy.
4. There are no trains here.
5. Six exams can be written in 4 days, but it hurts.
6. You can skip all the classes, study for 15 minutes before the final, and still do better than an arts student in any arts class.
7. Pi to six decimal places.
8. Judging by fellow students, engineers are either drunks or geeks.
9. Everyone is someone else's wierdo.
10. Front-row people are weird.
11. Those who can, do. Those who can't, teach.
12. A 95.75% can be an A.
13. An 80.1% can be an A+.
14. You can kill your neighbors with a 9-volt battery.
8. Judging by fellow students, engineers are either drunks or geeks.
Drunks!
aka "Bar Stool"...
Just for the occassional FR thread.
Tickle Me Elmo
There is a factory in America that makes the Tickle Me Elmo toy, which
laughs when you tickle it under the arm. A new employee is hired at the
Tickle Me Elmo factory and she reports for her first day promptly at
0800. The next day at 0845 there is a knock at the Personnel Manager's
door.
The Foreman from the assembly line throws open the door and begins to
rant about the new employee. He complains that she is incredibly slow
and the whole line is backing up, putting the entire production line
behind schedule.
The Personnel Manager decides he should see this for himself so the 2
men march down to the factory floor. When they get there the line is so
backed up that there are Tickle Me Elmo's all over the factory floor
and they're really beginning to pileup.
At the end of the line stands the new employee surrounded by mountains
of Tickle Me Elmo's. She has a roll of plush red fabric and a huge bag
of small marbles. The 2 men watch in amazement as she cuts a little
piece of fabric, wraps it around two marbles
and begins to carefully sew the little package between Elmo's legs.
The Personnel Manager bursts into laughter. After several minutes of
hysterics he pulls himself together and approaches the woman.
"I'm sorry," he says to her, barely able to keep a straight face, "but
I think you misunderstood the instructions I gave you yesterday......."
"Your job is to give Elmo two test tickles."
Didn't notice the venus flytrap version. ;-)
LOL!
Where'd you find that old Hasselhoff picture (can I add it to my Hunks page ;))
Those who can, do. Those who can't, teach.
I went to a small college (24 civils, 14 mech and a handfule of electroweenies) and all of our professors were accomplished engineers before becoming professors. All were prior military (All the civil profs were in-country Viet Nam Era combat engineers).We had no non-english speaking TA's. One of my prof's was the on the team that came up with the cooling tower idea for the Alaska pipeline.
13. An 80.1% can be an A+.
A 37 can be the high grade in Thermodynamics class.
I like this one...
ROFLMAO!
I. Just. Don't. Know. What. To. Say.
and those that can't teach, administrate!
Don't sweat it! ;O)
In the architecture world, it's a little different...
The A and the F students teach... the B and the D students end up working for the C students.
YOMANK
Those who can't cogitate, administrate.
