The group boards the train and it pulls out of the station. The accountants take their seats but the engineers all cram into the lavatory together. When the conductor comes around the accountants give him their tickets. He knocks on the door of the lavatory and says, "Ticket, please." The engineers crack the door and slide the one ticket out to the conductor.

The accountants are thoroughly impressed and decide to try this technique on the return journey. When the time comes, they buy their single ticket. However the engineers don't buy any tickets at all. The accountants are again perplexed but the engineers again assure them that they have a technique to travel, this time with no ticket.

The train arrives, the group boards and it leaves the station. The engineers again all cram into a lavatory, while the accountants cram into a lavatory of their own. Then one of the engineers exits their lavatory, walks over to the accountants' lavatory, knocks on the door and says, "Ticket, please."

31- An Engineer, A Priest, & A Thief - Engineering Jokes

An Engineer, a priest, and a thief were each sentenced to death by guillotine.

They bring out the priest first, and he says "Please. Allow me to lie in the guillotine facing up, so that I might face towards God as I am about to join him."

The guards allow it, and place his head through the slot. The guard pulls the lever and the blade comes down but stops just inches short of the priest's head. It's regarded as such a freak occurrence that the priest is pardoned and set free.

Next up is the thief. He says "Heck, it worked for the priest. Put me in face up too." Again the guards allow it, and again they pull the lever. The blade comes falling down, but again stops just short of the thief's neck. Like the priest, the thief is granted a pardon and set free, due to the marvelously good turn of fortune.

Finally the engineer is brought out. He asks "If you don't mind, could you put me in facing up?"

The guards agree and place him in the machine. The guard grabs a hold of the lever, but just before he can pull, the engineer points up and says:

"Oh hey, I think I see where the problem is."

32- Close Enough - Engineering Jokes

An engineer, a mathematician, and a physicist are each presented with a beautiful woman placed 8 feet away. The stipulation is that at each time interval, they may move half of the remaining distance towards her.

The mathematician concludes that after N iterations there will be 8 divided by 2N feet remaining which will never equal zero so he gives up on the spot.

The physicist opines that if each iteration requires a finite amount of energy then the energy expended in the approach will be inversely proportional to the distance remaining and gives up on the spot.

The engineer says "8 feet, 4 feet, 2 feet, 1 foot, 6 inches, that's close enough for practical purposes".
