I was looking over the site and thought that what we really need is more humor.
Good in theory, but how to put that thought into practise ?

SLIDE RULE : THE LEGEND LIVES ON

 
Hi, Slide is the name, Slide Rule that is. For years I was the biggest thing in the world of Engineering, Science and Commerce, hey, there was hardly a calculation done which didn't involve me. I was the King, I'd been around for hundreds of years and I RULED (excuse the pun). My powers are based on a clever logarithmic scale and it was all me, Multiplication, Division, Involution, Evolution, Trig Functions, Logs, I did it all and I was loved by all.

Tiger Woods has a few days away

 

Things had been tough for Tiger Woods over the past week and so he decided to get away from it all by going for a driving vacation.  

He got in his Rolls Royce and just took off.

After a while, he was going through a small country town in the middle of nowhere and he decided to stop for a break.  He parked the Rolls Royce and wandered into a local shop.

Sneaky Secrets to Becoming a Successful Engineer

 
George Costanza, of Seinfeld fame had his “Rules for the Office”.
But i f George had been an Engineer, he might have had a slightly different set of rules.....
If George had been an Engineer, he might have said .....

1.    Never walk anywhere empty handed
   Never walk without a tool, toolbox, clipboard in your hand and make sure that you have a Tape Measure, Utility Tool Set in a pouch and big bunch of noisy keys on your belt . Sometimes its good to mix it up a bit with a hard hat, gloves and safety glasses. This makes it looks like you are doing real work.  People with nothing in their hands look like they're heading for the canteen.  People with a newspaper in their hands look like they're heading for the toilet (Tip - if you do want to take the newspaper to the toilet, wrap it in a drawing).  All of this may be a bit cumbersome but thats the sacrifice you are prepared to make.  Above all, make sure that you carry loads of stuff home with you at night, thus giving the false impression that you are extremely dedicated and will be working later in the evening on that deadline.

The Plan

 
(Be careful what you say and how you say it - it could be misinterpreted)

Once upon a time, in a work place, not unlike yours, a Plan was devised to improve the way of the workings. Presumptions and assumptions were made, but many of these were without substance and when the Plan was presented to the employees, a darkness came across their faces, they mumbled and grumbled and held a mass meeting.

From this meeting there was unanimous feedback and they all said "this Plan is a crock of s@#t and it stinks".
