Signs you may be an engineer:
========================================
*At Christmas, it goes without saying that you will be the one that find the burnt-out bulb in the string of Christmas lights
*For you, it becomes a moral dilemma to decide whether to buy flowers for your wife or spend the money to upgrade the RAM on your computer
*On the Alaskan Cruise, everyone else is on deck peering at the scenery and you are still on a personal tour of the engine room
*In college, you thought the Summer break was metal fatigue failure
*The only jokes you receive are through e-mail
*The salespeople at the local computer store can't answer any of your questions
*You are always late to meetings
*At an air show, you know how fast the skydivers are falling
*If you were on death row in a French prison and you find that the guillotine is not working properly, you would offer to fix it
*You bought your wife a new CD-ROM for her birthday
*You can quote scenes from any Monty Python movie
*You can type 70 words per minute but can't read your own handwriting
*You can't write unless the paper has both horizontal and vertical lines
*You comment to your wife that her straight hair is nice and parallel
*You never have matching socks on
*You save the power cords from a broken appliance
*You have more friends online than you do in real life
*You have never backed up your hard drive
*You have never bought any new underwear or socks for yourself since you got married
*You know what http:// stands for
*You look forward to Christmas only to put together your kids' toys
*You see a good design and still have to change it
*You still own a slide rule and you know how to use it
*You laptop costs more than your car
*You think that when people around you yawn, it's because they didn't get enough sleep
