The Top 11 Reasons Engineers Make Better Husbands
By Kathi Hunder
11. Engineers require very little mirror time (unlink the marketing guy
I used to date).
10. You never have to worry about shopping for birthdays or Christmas --
a Computer Literacy gift certificate will do just fine.
9. No need to buy expensive work clothes -- a couple pairs of jeans and
Dockers will carry your for about two years.
8. I was the first woman on the block to have my own e-mail address.
7. My shopping list has been on a spreadsheet for about three years now.
6. Engineers never go carousing at bars -- just Fry's Electronics.
5. Engineers actually know how to program VCRs.
4. The biggest argument at our house: Mac vs PC.
3. There's always someone around to explain Dilbert to me.
2. My own Web site. 'Nuff said.
1. He would never divorce me -- California is a community property
state and I would get half his software.
