Here are some jokes to start your day on a bright note, that a friend
forwarded me -
An engineer dies and reports to the pearly gates. St. Peter checks
his dossier and says, "Ah, you're an engineer -- you're in the wrong
place." So the engineer reports to the gates of hell and is let in.
Pretty soon, the engineer gets dissatisfied with the level of
comfort in hell, and starts designing and building improvements.
After a while, they've got air conditioning and flush toilets
and escalators, and the engineer is a pretty popular guy.
One day God calls Satan up on the telephone and says with a sneer,
"So, how's it going down there in hell?" Satan replies,
"Hey, things are going great. We've got air conditioning
and flush toilets and escalators, and there's no telling what this
engineer is going to come up with next."
God replies, "What??? You've got an engineer? That's a mistake --
he should never have gotten down there; send him up here."
Satan says, "No way. I like having an engineer on the staff, and
I'm keeping him." God says, "Send him back up here or I'll sue."
Satan laughs uproariously and answers, "Yeah, right. And just where
are YOU going to get a lawyer?"
**************************************************************
A man goes into a pet shop to buy a parrot. The shop owner points
to three identical looking parrots on a perch and says:
"the parrot on the left costs 500 dollars".
"Why, does the parrot cost so much" asks the first man. The owner
says "Well the parrot knows how to use a computer".
The man then asks about the next parrot to be told that this one
costs 1,000 dollars because it can do everything the other
parrot can do plus it knows how to use the UNIX operating system.
Naturally, the increasingly startled man asks about the third parrot
to be told that it costs 2,000 dollars. Needless to say this begs
the question "What can it do?"
To which the owner replies "to be honest I have never seen it do a
thing but the other two call him boss!".
Have a good day,

Arguing with an Engineer is like wrestling with a pig in the mud.
Eventually you'll realize that the Pig likes it.
