I frame this joke by explaining that it was told to me by a former Jesuit priest.<\/p>\n
Three engineers are sitting around discussing the nature of God and while they agree that based on the magnificent design of the human body God must be an engineer they can’t agree on what kind of engineer.<\/p>\n
“It’s obvious,” says the first engineer, “that God is a mechanical engineer.”<\/p>\n
“How to you figure?” asks the second engineer.<\/p>\n
“Just look at the skeleton, the way the joints work and the structure of the body.\u00c2\u00a0 Clearly, a mechanical engineering marvel.”<\/p>\n
The second engineer says, “I think you’re wrong.\u00c2\u00a0 It’s obvious to me that God is an electrical engineer.”<\/p>\n
“By what logic?” the first engineer asks.<\/p>\n
“Look at the nervous system.\u00c2\u00a0 All the impulses that have to be transferred around the body nearly instantaneously back to the brain are vital to the body’s functioning.\u00c2\u00a0 This is obviously the work of a master electrical engineer.”<\/p>\n
The third engineer, who has been quiet up until now, laughs loudly drawing stern looks from the other two engineers.<\/p>\n
“You’re both wrong,” says the third engineer.\u00c2\u00a0 “God is obviously a civil engineer.”<\/p>\n
The other two engineers’ mouths fall open.\u00c2\u00a0 Finally one says, “By what reasoning could you possibly determine that God is a civil engineer?”<\/p>\n
The third engineer smiles and says, “God is obviously a civil engineer.\u00c2\u00a0 Who else besides a civil engineer would put a waste disposal plant right in the middle of a recreation area?”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
