Apparently this is the only thing that makes Architecture students laugh...pathetic losers. I do not know the source of the joke. If you wrote it, come forth.

Ehim...

Have you guys heard engineering jokes? They suck!! Yet, some people still laugh at them!! *rolling eyes*

Signing off...
A Proud Engineer

Mama Duck and Her Little Ducklings

In the Engineering building, we’re isolated from outside human contact. Don’t get me wrong, we like it this way. It’s like being on our own planet, and then all of a sudden popping out of our shells to run for presidents.

In the midst of our serenity, a disturbance occurs. It’s the Architecture students coming into no-man-land.

It’s a surreal sight!! There’s color in the Engineering building. They come in a straight line, one after the other, like mama duck and her little ducklings. Only looking straight ahead, never sideways, not a smile, not a peak!! Everyone’s looking at them, with hatred in their eyes.

Why can’t you leave us in our ignorance? Did you have to barge in with your hip styles and make us feel bad about ourselves? We enjoy wearing white shirts and blue jeans EVERY SINGLE DAY. You’re disrupting the peace.

The coolest, hippest Engineer is no match for the nerdiest, geekiest Architect. And that’s a fact. The Architecture-little-engine-that-could would “choo” it’s way through, while the Engineers are holding on to the pillars, and ripping and biting off the left over scraps from designs wallpaper the Architecture students decided to donate for our building.

The ingrates!!

Desperately Need To Go

I don’t know about the guys’ rest rooms, but I’m sure quite a few girls have experienced this, if not done it themselves!!

When you’re in the rest room, taking a “rest” what’s the most disturbing thing that could happen, besides running out of toilet paper, or finding out the toilet flush isn’t working?

Let me give you a hint:

a relentless person totally oblivious of the “Engaged” sign on the door, trying so hard to break in. I bet you were thinking of all sorts of weird stuff, you sickos.

Now, I’d like you to let your imagination go wild and tell me what you’d love to do to these people. Tell me how you want to slap them silly. Tell me how you want to just open the door and ask them to come in, if they’re that desperate. Tell me how you want to throw water-filled balloons from over the door on them. Tell me how you want to inflict so much pain on them using a blunt knife and spoons. Well, guess what? That isn’t gonna happen, coz it’s YOU in the vulnerable situation, no matter how desperate they are to go.

Engineers have taken this bizarre phenomenon into consideration when building the new library bathrooms. Have you girls seen the handles on those hoses?!! They’re so shiny and HEAVY!!

So now, when someone tries to bulldoze the bathroom door while you’re inside, simply open the door and fling that axe hose handle on them. From experience, I can tell you this, aim for the head and hope they don’t remember.

Who Needs The Energizer Bunny?

I learned today in school that you can create a battery out of a frog.

Is This What They Teach You @ AUS?

Since I'm overwhelmed with work this week, I won't be able to come up with something new, but here's something I wrote last summer when I worked in an Electricity and Water Authority.

Gas Turbines For Dumb Asses

I’m supposed to tell Boss what I learned about GTs during the past week. (For all you dumb asses out there, GT stands for Gas Turbine.) I also have to explain the different systems of the GT. (Again, it’s Gas Turbine.)So…

#1- GT stands for Gas Turbine, yet again. And, it will remain this way until I say no more. So, quit gaping at me every time I say GT. It’s not jargon.

#2- No, a GT is not something you take when you’re constipated. As much as you want it to be, it’s not. But, it’s pretty close!

#3- Do not touch a GT. It will suck you in. If you’re lucky, they may still be able to identify your body as the only person stupid enough to go near a GT without a helmet.

#4- GTs are not toys. No, you can’t have one for your birthday, even if you’re turning 21; it needs constant maintenance. Stick to a car.

#5- Do not take a leak in the Lube Oil system. It will cause the machine to trip.

#6- A machine trip is not one you’d want to go to, for there is no free food.

#7- If the phone rings every two minutes, don’t worry, it’s only the alarm system programmed to buzz whenever a dumb ass fly passes by the GT.

#8- Do not use the combustion chamber to light your cigarette, because second hand smoke is dangerous for the GT. And you could die (not of lung cancer.)

#9- Smoking kills. So do GTs.

#10- Bearings are not balls.

I was lucky I didn't get kicked out. So, don't try this at home.
