Top,
I shoulda been an artist...but then I'd be even more poor than I am now
Otherwise, you probably know that an engineer is always in training...new things are constantly being discovered that we need to know to do our jobs. Currently I am looking for a way to ride a surfboard on a gravity wave, and the massive government funding for such a project.
Regarding smelly engineers, I think I used to smell a bit, but now my two boys spray up the whole house with Axe body spray and other teenage odor covers/girl attractants and the residual vapors keep me smelling like a french whore engineer....before my second-hand deodorizing maybe it was more like a german whore engineer....but an engineer nonetheless.
