You Might Be An Engineer If...
IF you introduce your wife as "mylady@home.wife". IF your spouse sends you an e-mail instead of calling you to dinner. IF you use a pocket calculator to divide the bill at a restaurant. IF your wrist watch has more computing power than a Pentium III PC. IF you are involved in an on-going interactive game over the Internet with someone in Guam. IF your excuse for not wearing a tie is because it would limit critical blood flow to your brain. IF you own one or more white short-sleeve dress shirts. IF you think it's more fun to take apart a video game than play it. IF you go on the rides at Disneyland and sit backwards in the chairs to see how they do the special effects. IF your I.Q. number is bigger than your weight. IF you've ever tried to repair a $5.00 radio. IF you've already calculated how much you make per second. IF all your sentences begin with "What IF". IF the blinking 12:00 on someone's VCR draws you in like a tractor beam to fix it.
