I'm just being weird. My sense of humor often amuses nobody but myself, don't lose sleep over it. I knew you were agreeing with me. Anybody who thinks a personable doctor is capable of anything more than cleaning a cut is clearly unbalanced.

"I deal with the gotdamn customers so the engineers don't have to!
I have people skills!
I am good at dealing with people! Can't you understand that!?
What the hell is wrong with you people!?"
I like to give our Engineers crap constantly, just because I can, and they like to make me wait on projects for the same reason.
My definition of an Engineer: An Engineer knows how to make love 78 different ways, but he has never met a woman.

Dang, you called my hand on that one. lol
To the optimist, the glass is half full. To the pessimist, the glass
is half empty. To the engineer, the glass is twice as big as it needs
to be.

Two engineering students were walking across the campus when one said,
"Where did you get such a great bike?"
The second engineer replied, "Well, I was walking along yesterday
minding my own business when a beautiful woman rode up on this bike.
She threw the bike to the ground, took off all her clothes and said,
"Take what you want."
The second engineer nodded approvingly, "Good choice; the clothes
probably wouldn't have fit."

ROFL!
In no way am I going to make fun of an engineer.
BUT! there is a sign on the wall at work that says:
"Sometimes you have to shoot the engineer so you can get on with the project"

Back in the old days the Germans were trying to outdo the Swiss and make the world's finest watch. So the Germans acquired all the Swiss watches they could find, tore them apart and studied them. They determined that the key to the world's finest watch was in making the world's smallest springs. So they took what they learned and improved it. It took years of research and all the top engineers were assigned to work the project. In the end the Germans had made the world's smallest watch spring. It was far smaller than anything that the Swiss had ever attempted and a microscope was needed to even see it. The Germans sent it to the Swiss and proclaimed that they had defeated them, that there was no way possible the Swiss could produce such a fine spring.
The Swiss sent the spring back to the Germans with a note congratulating them on their truly astounding achievement. They said to the Germans "you have in fact created world's smallest and finest watch spring, but if you will notice we have improved it further by drilling a hole in each end".

Now THIS is very true. Just last week my mentor/senior engineer and I literally got on a 3 day tangent to try to solve a problem that might not actually be a problem. But, we were lured in by trying to make sure everything is perfect. To be fair, this isn't the same "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" engineer situation, if the problem does arise, the product won't work. Eventually we both looked at each and were like "We've gotta finish this darn thing. We're going back to the original design."
So then we started joking that we shot ourselves.
