> The second engineer nodded approvingly, "Good choice; the clothes probably

> The doctor chimed in, "I don't know, but I've never seen such ineptitude!"
> The pastor said, "Hey, here comes the greens keeper. Let's have a word
> with him." "Hi George! Say, what's with that group ahead of us? They're
> rather slow, aren't they?"
> The greens keeper replied, "Oh, yes, that's a group of blind
> fire-fighters. They lost their sight saving our clubhouse from a fire last
> year, so we always let them play for free anytime."
> The group was silent for a moment. The pastor said,"That's so sad. I think
> I will say a special prayer for them tonight."
> The doctor said, "Good idea. And I'm going to contact my ophthalmologist
> buddy and see if there's anything he can do for them."
> The engineer said, "Why can't these

> An architect, an artist and an engineer were discussing whether it was

> The artist said he enjoyed time with his mistress, because the passion

> mystery he found there.
> The engineer said, "I like both."
> "Both?"
> "Yeah. If you have a wife and a mistress, they will each assume you are

> 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 spoke
> up again and said, "If you kiss me and turn me back into a beautiful
> princess, I will stay with you for one week."
> The engineer took the frog out of his pocket, smiled at it and returned it
> to the pocket. The frog then cried out, "If you kiss me and turn me back
> into a princess, I'll stay with you 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 a 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 worth a mint."
