    ok this one is for the engineers. its really bad but one of our lecturers just loves it.

    there was a plane flying from poland to russia.
    during the flight the plane flew into some turbulance.
    the captain came onto the intercom and says,
    "ladies and gentlemen, we are experiencing some instabilitly,
    could all the poles please move to the left side of the plane."

    bad, isnt it...

    No - a bad engineering joke looks like this

    The designer of the human body was an engineer.
    - who else would run a toxic waste pipe through a recreational area ?

    To an engineer an glass is neither half empty or half full, it's twice as big as it needs to be.

    When were camping at the international scout jamboree in Switzerland the weather, thunder storm and all that, was so bad that the tents became saturated and to cap it all lightening hit one of the poles - so they all went back home the next day.

    A guy walking through the Olympic Village with a huge pole.

    An sprinter asks him "Are you a pole vaulter ??"

    And he replies ... "No, I'm German, und my name is Hans".

    I *think* you mean a civil engineer, not just an engineer.

    "I say would you mind awfully if we put this pipe, you'll hardly notice it sir. "

    Is that civil enough ?

    4 Engineers in a car. It chuggs a bit and the engine stops running and they pull in to the side of the road.
    The chemical engineer blames the petrol.
    The electrical engineer blames the electrics.
    The mechanical engineer blames the fuel pump.
    The software engineer suggests they just get out of the car and then get back in again....

    Q: whats the difference between a mechanical engineer and a civil engineer?

    A: a mechanical engineer builds weapons while a civil engineer builds targets

    OK, here goes:

    What's the contour integral of Western Europe?

    Zero - there are no poles in Western Europe. (Actually, there are poles in Western Europe but they are removable.)

    Another one for the eng heads

    Two functions, f(x) and f(y) walk into a bar one day. They see all the other functions dancing and having a great time, but then they see poor old e^x sitting on his own at the bar. So they go up to hime and say " Ah whats wrong e^x, why don't you go integrate with the other functions?" and e^x says, "why bother, sure it wouldn't make a difference"!

    (Okay I'm really, really sorry, I promise never to tell another joke again!)
