You know you are an Engineer if
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.
