Engineers.


(As I'm shooting the wine out of my nose...)

My husband, Bdarg, is an engineer in his "real" life, and he said I needed to tell y'all that engineers would only wear BLACK socks, not white.

BTW- he doesn't wear a pocket protector. He's a cool engineer.
 
Good grief- someone yank this keyboard out of my hands before I do some serious damage! I have headlined 3 forums now- and I have managed to do this with 3 family members talking to me! I guess the good part of all this is I have learned to multi- task!

"Mom, I need the computer to apply to college!!!" Ahhhh....Empty Nest, it's my turn!!! jdarg...have you thought about getting a blackberry? Run that by cck before you do!!!

I'd be afraid I would try to use the Blackberry while driving.

:floor: Guess this beached guy is not an engineer then. Hmmm - wonder what profession he might be in .. :scratch:

Bdarg the engineer husband says the "guy" in the thong might be a sumo wrestler. (The "guy" sounds like a "Friends" episode)

My son thinks he may be Fat Bastard from Austin Powers Goldmember. I think we can agree that it is NOT Goldmember.

If he would have just placed the socks a little more strategically on his body, everything would be okay.


:blink: Ya think so JOe? I DON'T think so. And I didn't even double click!
(Just now catching this thread.)

Kathy, was there any location indicated on the photo? Just so we know where to avoid! :eek:

Good one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You know, Kathy has way bigger nads than I do because I wanted to post that exact same photo from an email I received a few weeks ago, but didn't dare cause I was so grossed out that i figured it would seriously offend sowal members! I mean, it's horrid! But I'm glad she did cause I wanted to but wasn't nearly as brave... I thought it would be agin the rules. But after the "cake" thread, I guess we're getting just a tad more brazen... next time I shall POST it and dam the consequences!

this time next year, no tellin' what we'll be friggin talking 'bout! :biggrin:
 
My husband is an engineer, too. He's a retired one, who does wear white socks...for bicycling. The khakis (if they belong to our guy) are a second clue. After we enlarged this unfortunate photo, my guy says the thong definitely takes the engineering profession out of consideration!
