Choosing between buying flowers for your wife and upgrading your RAM is
a problem.

You take a cruise so you can go on a personal tour of the engine room.
In college, you thought Spring Break was metal fatigue failure.

The salespeople at the local computer store can't answer any of your
questions.

At an air show, you know how fast the skydivers are falling.

For your wife's birthday you gave her a new CD-ROM drive or a Palm
Pilot.

You can quote scenes from any Monty Python movie.

You can type 70 words per minute but you can't read your own
handwriting.

You comment to your wife that her straight hair is nice and parallel.

You sit backwards on Disney rides so you can see how they do the special
effects.

You have saved every power cord from all your broken appliances.

You have more friends on the Internet than in real life.

    You know what https:// stands for.

    You look forward to Christmas so you can put together the kids' toys.

    You see a good design, and have to change it.

    You spent more time choosing your calculator than you did your wedding ring.

    You still own a slide rule and know how to use it.

    You think that people yawning around you are sleep deprived.

    You window shop at Radio Shack.

    Your laptop computer cost more than your car.

    Your wife hasn't the foggiest idea of what you do at work.

    You've already calculated how much you make per second.

    You've tried to repair a $5 radio.

    @Durga: Call it an Engineer stereotype.

    We are against gender bias here 😉

    @Durga: Well, replace wives with husbands and you get the norms for a female engineer. 😀

    Although men generally don't have straight and parallel hair, and women don't often buy flowers for men..

    Except for those, the others should be fine..
