How can you celebrate this important day?

You don't have to take an engineer to lunch, but just be tolerant when he or she is eating a bologna sandwich at their desk. Just don't go "tsk" when you see the new mustard stain on their shirt or white bread crumbs on the keyboard..

No "Happy PE Day!" is warranted. In fact, the engineer might be very happy if you smile slightly, nod your head, and then, leave them alone.

If you happen to live in a place that has running water and modern bathrooms, just you being able to flush the toilet is thanks enough to the engineers who make it all possible.

Enjoy tomorrow!

Two engineering students were met on a university campus when one said, “Where did you get such a great bike?”

The second engineer replied, “Well, I was walking along yesterday, minding my business, when a beautiful woman rode up on this bike, threw it to the ground, took off all her clothes and said, “Take what you want.”

The first engineer nodded approvingly and said, “Good choice; the clothes probably wouldn’t have fit you anyway.”

A priest, a doctor, and an engineer were waiting one morning for a particularly slow group of golfers. The engineer fumed, “What’s with those guys? We must have been waiting for fifteen minutes!”

The doctor chimed in, “I don’t know, but I’ve never seen such inept golf!”

The priest said, “Here comes the green-keeper. Let’s have a word with him.” He said, “Hello George, what’s wrong with that group ahead of us? They’re rather slow, aren’t they?”

The green-keeper replied, “Oh, yes. That’s a group of blind firemen. They lost their sight saving our clubhouse from a fire last year, so we always let them play for free anytime.”

The group fell silent for a moment.

The priest said, “That’s so sad. I think I will say a special prayer for them tonight.”

The doctor said, “Good idea. I’m going to contact my ophthalmologist colleague and see if there’s anything he can do for them.”

The engineer said, “Why can’t they play at night?”

An engineer was crossing a road one day, when a frog called out to him and said, “If you kiss me, I’ll turn into a beautiful princess.” He bent over, picked up the frog and put it in his pocket.

The frog then cried out, “If you kiss me and turn me back into a princess, I’ll stay with you for one week and do ANYTHING you want.”

Again, the engineer took the frog out, smiled at it and put it back into his pocket.

Finally, the frog asked, “What is the matter? I’ve told you I’m a beautiful princess and that I’ll stay with you for one week and do anything you want. Why won’t you kiss me?”

The engineer said, “Look, I’m an engineer. I don’t have time for a girlfriend, but a talking frog, now that’s cool!

An architect, an artist and an engineer were discussing whether it was better to spend time with the wife or a mistress. The architect said he enjoyed time with his wife, building a solid foundation for an enduring relationship. The artist said he enjoyed time with his mistress, because of the passion and mystery he found there. The engineer said, "I like both. If you have a wife and a mistress, they will each assume you are spending time with the other woman, and you can get some work done."

A mechanical, electrical, and civil engineer are discussing the human body, and if God created man, what kind of engineer would He have been?

The mechanical engineer says "with the complex joint structure, load bearing of the spine, and full articulation of the hands and arms, God must have been a mechanical engineer!"

The electrical engineer disagrees "The human body is a network of electrical pathways connected to a neural network. He must have been an electrical engineer."

The civil engineer says "Guys, you're going about this all wrong. God has to be a civil engineer. Who else would put a waste pipe right in the middle of a recreational facility?"

This is the culmination of Engineer's Week here and there is a dinner this evening with awards, Engineer of the Year, etc. You don't have to be a PE to celebrate.

I thought yours was in August. Ours was in February

PE Day is in August. Engineers week is in February. While all PEs are engineers, not all engineers are PEs.
