Engine loss Two blondes were flying to Miami from Cleveland. Fifteen minutes into the

flight, the captain announced "One of the engines has failed and the flight will be an hour

longer. But don't worry we have three engines left". Thirty minutes later, the captain an-

nounced "One more engine has failed and the flight will be two hours longer. But don't

worry we have two engines left". An hour later the capain announced "One more engine

has failed and the flight will be three hours longer. But don't worry we have one engine

left". One blonde looked at the other the other blonde and said "If we lose one more en-

gine, we'll be up here all day"

Chaos A doctor, a civil engineer, and a computer scientist were sitting around late one

evening, and they got to discussing which was the oldest profession. The doctor pointed

out that according to biblical tradition, God created Eve from Adam's rib. This obviously re-

quired surgery, so therefore that was the oldest profession in the world. The engineer coun-

tered with an earlier passage in the Bible that stated that God created order from the chaos,

and that was most certainly the biggest and best civil engineering example ever, and also

proved that his profession was the oldest profession. The computer scientist leaned back

in her chair, and with a sly smile responded, "Yes, but who do you think created the chaos?"
