engineers and their cool jobs

just got back from a seminar at work
it's really a technical review where each group reports back to the department head
and the engineering group presented this month

i can't believe people actually get paid
to come up with possible explosive devices
using cost-effective materials
that may possibly be used by insurgents
they showed us all the prototypes
(minus the TNT itself)
apparently the military wanted the prototypes in order to come up with ways to combat it

and it just all seems so cool
all top secret and stuff
plus everytime i walk by one of their offices
they're literally messing with the wires and gadgets
and they all use acronyms where i have no idea what they mean

and not just that
there's also projects on border protection, radiation sensors, etc
and it all seems so important
and everyone seems so smart

neat stuff
either that or i'm easily impressed

and then there's me
who just got some strawberry yogurt on my white pants
brilliant

whatever...
Engineers... I spit on engineers...

So what if they can make bombs...

Engineer:" I've just installed(glued) 2 mchbx (matchboxes) to the highly flamable device (bottle of veg. oil)... giving the precise time .. the bmb(bomb) will be designated by the user (it will blow up when you light it on fire)”

Were you able to get it off? If it's stubborn, just pick u a 12 pack of Strawberry flavored yogurt from Giant after you get home and rub it all over your pants. You'll have a nice pink pair!
