Why A Girl Should Marry An Engineer

DOCTOR
Supposedly, all women are after a Doctor, so
don’t expect your relationship to last more than 5 years.
Eventually, he’ll run off with some nurse from his office,
or one of his young women patients that is
pretending to be sick. He’ll wait until you are stuck with a
few kids to do this. This is not a problem with your Engineer
husband. He had a hard enough time meeting you. It is
unlikely he’ll ever meet another woman in his profession.

LAWYER
Do you seriously expect an honest, trusting
relationship with someone who gets paid for lying?
Once again, this is not a problem with your Engineer
spouse. He doesn’t have enough social skills to lie
convincingly. An additional drawback to marrying
lawyer is when the divorce happens you will get nothing.

SALESMAN
See honesty segment under Lawyer. Plus, he
will be traveling to trade shows, etc. where he will be in the
company of other equally trustworthy individuals. Don’t be
surprised when you get the invitation to show up on the
Ricki Lake show. The company that your Engineer husband
works at will keep him in a cage, often called a cubicle, until
he is ready to go home to you.

TEACHER
The only reason he entered this profession
is so that he could be surrounded by newly post-pubescent
girls who idolize him. He’ll be in jail soon, and then you’ll
have to look for another man.

HAZARDOUS PROFESSIONS, I.E. FIREFIGHTER,
CONSTRUCTION WORKER, ETC.
Your husband, if he is not dead by some accident, will
likely be crippled with a back injury, etc. just about the time
you are at your sexual peak.
The only hazards that your
Engineer husband will face is losing his eyesight
by staring at the computer terminal for too long. This
hazard actually has some benefits. For one, he will not notice that
you are getting older, since you will be a blur. He will remember
you as when he first met you, because the memory will still be sharp.
And If you think he is looking at another woman, and you ask
“Honey, were you looking at her?”, he’ll honestly be able to say
that he didn’t even see her.

That doesn’t say why they should marry an engineer, only why they shouldn’t marry the others. I think it means they should marry a programmer. :smiley:

Of course the downside for the woman she will have ended up marrying an engineer.

Dammit Rascal, don’t go around revealing my secrets now!

Does “newly post-pubescent” mean over 21? Some of us have standards, you know.

Engineers do it with precision on the test bench
Engineers do it to specs without looking at the manual
Engineers do it with maximum power and efficiency
Hydrolic engineers do it even under intense pressure
Audio engineers do it with fidelity
Aerospace engineers do it with lift and thrust
Mechanical engineers do it with fluid dynamics
Civil engineers do it with an erection
Electronics Engineers know their tolerances
Electronics Engineers do it on an impulse
Electronics Engineers check their shorts before doing it
Electrical engineers do it with greater frequency, less resistance, and faster rise times

Richardm, are you by any chance an engineer?!

No, this is me.
Mathematicians do it with imaginary parts
Mathematicians multiply with log tables
Mathematicians do it discretely
Mathematicians do it parallel and perpendicular
Mathematicians do it rationally
Mathematicians do it with odd functions
Mathematicians have to prove they did it
