On a recent video recommendation by youtube...

Q: How many amp techs does it take to change a light bulb?

A: Just one -- he begins at the front door and replaces every bulb in the building until he gets the one that is out.

Three engineers from America, Germany, and Japan are playing golf. They hear ringing. The Japanese engineer says "excuse me, I'm getting a call", extends his little finger and thumb, holding his hand to his face, and proceeds to carry on a conversation. He finishes, and explains that he was using his company's latest prototype, a phone built in to his hand. The others were impressed. Later, they hear ringing again. the German says "excuse me, I'm getting a call", taps the side of his head, and has a short conversation. When done, he explained he was using the latest in German technology: a phone built in to his head. The others were impressed. Later, the American says "excuse me...", walks to the bushes, drops his pants, squats, and explains, "I'm getting a fax!".

A police officer stops a car. Behind the steering wheel sits Heisenberg.
Officer: "Sir, do you know how fast you were driving?"
Heisenberg: "No, but I do know exactly where I am."

I just saw this one in Jack Ganssle's newsletter.

Quote
From Tom Razov:

A QA engineer walks into a bar. Orders a beer. Orders 0 beers. Orders 99999999999 beers. Orders a lizard. Orders -1 beers. Orders a ueicbksjdhd. First real customer walks in and asks where the bathroom is. The bar bursts into flames, killing everyone.
Currently developing STM8 and STM32. Past includes 6809, Z80, 8086, PIC, MIPS, PNX1302, and some 8748 and 6805. Check out my public code on github. https://github.com/unfrozen

If architects designed buildings like software engineers designed programs, than the first woodpecker that came along would destroy all civilization.

The "S" in "HTTP" stands for Security. Guess why "HTTPS" was invented. Should we invent "IoTS"? :)
Cryptocurrency has taught me to love math and at the same time be baffled by it.

Cryptocurrency lesson 0: Altcoins and Bitcoin are not the same thing.

Ok, this is lame... but the majority of MY jokes would otherwise be banned here!....

Irishman on a building site. Asked by his boss to measure the height of a long pole leaning
up against a wall. Johno says to Paddy... "Lay it down on the ground, then measure it!!"...
Paddy says... "Don't be stupid!, he wants the height not the width!!"   :palm:

Then 'Paddy' went to his boss, complaining about the wheelbarrow squeaking. Told the boss....
"When I wheel it, it goes... Squeak...........Squeak.............Squeak............."
The boss told him he was Sacked!!  When he asked why, the boss told him....
"When 'I' wheel it, it goes...  Squeak,Squeak,Squeak,Squeak"   :scared:
Diagonal of 1x1 square = Root-2. Ok.
Diagonal of 1x1x1 cube = Root-3 !!!  Beautiful !!

Both of them have exactly the same equivalent in Portuguese, it's basically a translation word by word.

I really don't have anything against the Irish!!  (I was once one!).
Can't help sharing this one too though... (not sure about the 'engineering' aspect...)

Paddy is holidaying in London, and keen to get home he phones the airport...
Paddy:  "Can ya be tellin' me when's the next floight to Dublin!!"
Operator: "Just a minute..."
Paddy:  Immediately hangs up... "Jesus Chroist I better hurry, to catch Dat one!!!!"
Paddy is racing along the Motorway, and sees a sign... "Airport Left"....
So he turned around and went back to the Pub.

HEY, the Irish aren't ALL silly !!!... after all, it was an Irishman who
invented the Ejector Seat for a Helicopter !! 

(Sorry...  :palm:)
Diagonal of 1x1 square = Root-2. Ok.
Diagonal of 1x1x1 cube = Root-3 !!!  Beautiful !!

If you need to explain active power, reactive power and apparent power to somebody which is not familiar with EE then I recommend to have a beer.

That's really poor maths. The reactive power need to be orthogonal to the active power.
