Posted in Engineer Joke of the Week
Mechanical engineers build weapons.
Civil engineers build targets.
I love it when my engineer jokes come from actaul engineers who I meet. This one is from an old-school civil engineer-turned contract lawyer.

I have always counted myself lucky that my parents gave us legos and puzzles to play with as kids instead of dolls. My two sisters and I kept ourselves entertained with spatial problem-solving toys, although they weren’t very popular with our young friends. Two of us are now engineers and the other a successful graphic designer.
Debbie is an awesome, young female engineer who realised the need for a good quality toy aimed at developing problem solving skills in girls. This is how Goldiblox was born.
The project was funded in five days. I’m just bummed that I didn’t think of this first!
