One day an engineer heard, "If you kiss me, I'll turn into a beautiful princess." He looked around, but all he saw was a frog.

As he watched, it spoke again. "If you kiss me and turn me back into a beautiful princess, I will stay with you for one week."

The engineer picked up the frog and put it in his pocket. The frog cried out, "If you kiss me and turn me back into a beautiful princess, I'll stay with you for a week and do anything you desire!"

The engineer pulled out the frog, smiled at it, and then put it back in his pocket.

The frog cried, "What in the hell is wrong with you?
I told you I'm a beautiful princess and I'll do anything you desire for a week. Why won't you kiss me?"

The engineer said, "I'm an engineer. I don't have time for a girlfriend.
But a talking frog? Now, that's cool!

I don't find it funny. Not at all.

Bahhh.

I don't know whether to laugh or be scared because I know engineering students that would do just that.

I've heard that one before. Hell, I've known engineers like that. Here's another one:

A man is flying in a hot air balloon and realizes he is lost. He reduces height and spots a man down below. He lowers the balloon further and shouts, "Excuse me. Can you help me? I promised my friend I would meet him half an hour ago, but I don't know where I am."

The man below says, "Yes. You are in a hot air balloon, hovering approximately 30 feet above this field. You are between 40 and 42 degrees N. latitude, and between 58 and 60 degrees W. longitude."

"You must be an engineer," says the balloonist. "I am," replies the man. "How did you know?" "Well," says the balloonist, "everything you have told me is technically correct, but I have no idea what to make of your information, and the fact is I am still lost."

The man below says, "You must be a manager." "I am," replies the balloonist, "but how did you know?" "Well," says the man below, "you don't know where you are, or where you are going. You have made a promise which you have no idea how to keep, and you expect me to solve your problem. The fact is you are in exactly the same position you were in before we met, but now it is somehow my fault.

I've heard that one a few times too....but in never fails to bring a chuckle.

You know your employees are getting disgruntled when you start seeing Dilbert cartoons posted around the office.

And manager's know it's really the case when their names are scrawled into the "Pointy Haired Bosses" body....
