Two engineering students were walking across campus when one said, ”Where did you get such a great bike?”<\/p>\n
The second engineer replied, ”Well, I was walking along yesterday minding my own business when a beautiful woman rode up on this bike. She threw the bike to the ground, took off all her clothes and said, ”Take what you want.”<\/p>\n
”The second engineer nodded approvingly, ”Good\u00a0choice; the clothes probably wouldn’t have fit.”<\/p>\n

A pastor, a doctor and an engineer were\u00a0waiting one morning for a particularly slow group of golfers.
\nThe engineer fumed, ”What’s with these guys? We must have been\u00a0waiting for 15 minutes!” The doctor chimed in, ”I don’t know, but\u00a0I’ve never seen such ineptitude!
\n”The pastor said, ”Hey, here comes the\u00a0greenskeeper. Let’s have a word\u00a0with him.” [dramatic pause]
\n”Hi George. Say, what’s with that group\u00a0ahead of us? They’re rather slow, aren’t they?”
\nThe greenskeeper replied, ”Oh, yes, that’s a\u00a0group of blind firefighters.\u00a0They lost their sight saving our club house from
\na fire last year, so we always let them play\u00a0for free anytime.”
\nThe group was silent for a moment.<\/p>\n
The pastor said, ”That’s so sad. I think I will\u00a0say a special prayer for them tonight.”<\/p>\n
The doctor said, ”Good idea. And I’m going to\u00a0contact my ophthalmologist buddy and see if there’s
\nanything he can do for them.”
\nThe engineer said, ”Why can’t these guys\u00a0play at night?”<\/p>\n
