HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA


The graduate with a Science degree asks, "Why does it work?"
The graduate with an Engineering degree asks, "How does it work?"
The graduate with an Accounting degree asks, "How much will it cost?"
The graduate with a Liberal Arts degree asks, "Do you want fries with
that?"

Engineers think that equations approximate the real world.
Scientists think that the real world approximates equations.
Mathematicians are unable to make the connection...

------------

A Mathematician, a Biologist and a Physicist are sitting in a street
cafe watching people going in and coming out of the house on the other
side of the street.

First they see two people going into the house. Time passes. After a
while they notice three persons coming out of the house.

The Physicist: "The measurement wasn't accurate.".
The Biologists conclusion: "They have reproduced".
The Mathematician: "If now exactly 1 person enters the house then it
will be empty again."

Three engineering students were gathered together discussing the
possibledesigners of the human body.

 One said, ``It was a mechanical engineer.  Just look at all the
joints.''

 Another said, ``No, it was an electrical engineer.  The nervous
system has many thousands of electrical connections.''

 The last said, ``Actually it was a civil engineer.  Who else would
run a toxic waste pipeline through a recreational area?''

------------

An engineer, a physicist, and a mathematician are shown a pasture with
a herd of sheep, and told to put them inside the smallest possible
amount of fence.

The engineer is first.  He herds the sheep into a circle and then puts
the fence around them, declaring, "A circle will use the least fence
for a given area, so this is the best solution."

The physicist is next. She creates a circular fence of infinite radius
around the sheep, and then draws the fence tight around the herd,
declaring, "This will give the smallest circular fence around the
herd."

The mathematician is last. After giving the problem a little thought,
he puts a small fence around himself and then declares, "I define
myself to be on the outside!"

------------

In some foreign country a priest, a lawyer and an engineer are about
to be guillotined.  The priest puts his head on the block, they pull
the rope and nothing happens -- he declares that he's been saved by
divine intervention -- so he's let go.  The lawyer is put on the
block, and again the rope doesn't release the blade, he claims he
can't be executed twice for the same crime, and he is set free too.
They grab the engineer and shove his head into the guillotine, he
looks up at the release mechanism and says, "Wait a minute, I see your
problem......"

An engineer, a mathematician, and a physicist went to the racessecret.

"Well," he says, between puffs on the pipe, "first I assumed all the
horses were identical and spherical..."
