Bo comes from together

BSME as well.

I tried to get a BS in BS, but they said I already had a PhD.
 
My favorite was a guy where I grew up that was trying to explain his difficulty in welding aluminum (trying to use an oxy-acetylene rig):

"I tried, but you just can't weld that shi**in' loonium!"
 
That's the problem. There are too many engineers in this thread.
 
Two of my favorite sayings:

One was a young baseball player in Oklahoma. The coach tossed him the ball and told him he's pitching the next inning.

"You're not yankin' my dang, are you coach?" Was his response.

Then, I met a young man (lineman) at the airport in Hazelhurst, GA. He was originally from MO but moved to GA with his mom 5 years earlier when his parents got divorced. He was 19.

I asked what he was doing with his life.

He responded, "I'm goin' to mechanicin' school."

I told him five years was already too long! :)

He was going to A&P school at the college up the road at Eastman.

I still laugh every time I think about that conversation.

Four.

Yes, it's hard to bear. The mother-in-law would rather her daughter be married to someone more prestigious, like an out of work lawyer. The dog pretends not to know me. And everyone knows P. Eng stands for poor English. :goofy:

I feel your pain. My mother is very disappointed that I wasn't successful and reminds me of it every time I see her.

You know, because starting a non-profit at 25 and becoming an engineer with a good salary such that I can support my family comfortably and allow my wife to be a stay-at-home mom is being a real loser.
 
It's good to be among such distinguished fellow losers I mean engineers

If I would have had a bit more discipline when I was younger (hell, or now even) :goofy:

I was offered a scholarship to both UMR and MSU because of my grades in the pre-engineering program at a jr. college.

UMR is Missour's engineering school. When I toured the UMR campus in 1980 there were exactly 8 women on campus.

MSU didn't have an engineering program but rather both "A/E design" and "construction management" programs in their Industrial Technology department. So I double majored and then minored in math (so I'd have that out of the way if I ever decided to go back later and get an engineering degree).

Why'd I go to MSU instead of UMR? Because they also have a large "teaching" department and in 1980 the campus was over 2 to 1 women.

I decided I really didn't need an engineering degree that badly.

Dating (and getting lucky) in Springfield, MO back then was like shooting fish in a barrel. Man it was fun.

:D

That's because they slack off and surf PoA during meetings, a luxury not available to the rest of us working stiffs . . .
 
Ok,,,,ok,,,just for my own entertainment, i am walking with my well educated wife of 40 years and i ask her:

"you ever hear the common term: comes from together"? Answer was no but now intrigued she wanted an explaination. She then said:
"why not say: it came apart or blew up"? :hairraise: :D

I am easily entertained.
 
When I played football in YAFL, my coach was fond of saying "dammit boy, you can't just stand there scratchin' yer dingus!"

I had a drama teacher who's standard call for getting the girls chorus on stage was, "Heifers!" On stage!"

He'd never survive the PC school districts of today.

One day apparently someone in the class stunk and he went into a period-long rant about how to properly bathe, The Marine Way. Hahaha. I can't even describe it, but he was on a roll that day, for sure.
