Normal:
Q: Why can't engineers tell jokes?
A: Timing.

As said by an engineer:
Why can't engineers tell jokes timing.

See? ^^

wnker85 11-07-2004 08:06 PM

what made this joke even better is i had to explain to my engineer friend

Dawson70 11-07-2004 08:37 PM

k.....i get it

Ydde 11-10-2004 08:13 AM

Alright alright, I'll be the first engineer to say you got me there.

Yup, go ahead, laugh.

joeshoe 11-12-2004 09:03 PM

Haha, thanks Stiltzkin. I didn't get it at first

pravin 11-13-2004 01:22 AM

i still didnt get it. and i am an engineer :(

scotty 11-13-2004 07:39 AM

The idea is, you ask someone "Why can't engineers tell jokes?" and as they're saying "I don't know, why?" you're already saying "Timing."

It also works if you pause for an inordinately long time after they say "I don't know, why?" before answering.

I used to tell it with "That's my secret, timing. Go ahead, ask me what my secret is." And as soon as they're saying "What's your secret?", you answer. With this version, you're not necessarily limitting it to engineers, which may be the angle some people aren't understanding.

i'm not an engineer and i didn't get it at all :/...now i do ...(thanks scotty)..but i still don't find it funny :/

saut 11-15-2004 07:28 PM

Well I guess I'm going to school for the right thing since I didn't get the joke at first.

Racer 11-22-2004 09:36 AM

I told this to an engineer the other day...he didn't get it. Go figure!

Stiltzkin 11-29-2004 11:40 PM

That's why you major in science; that's where all the cool kids are at! :thumbsup:

p0thead 12-01-2004 04:05 PM

oops i get it now... hahha

vector_1979 12-02-2004 01:27 PM

"i'm an engineer...."

that's usually enough for me to say before I get laughed at :(

Bill O'Rights 12-02-2004 01:51 PM

Out of the 11-1/2 engineers, at my work (one's an intern), not a single one of them got it. Telling...very telling.
