Engineers comedy .... Well Written and Selected.

We have the man who fires the boiler and pulls the throttle
dubbed a locomotive or stationary engineer; we have the
woman who fires the stove and cooks the dinner dubbed
the domestic engineer, and it will not be long before the
barefooted African, who pounds the mud into the brick
molds, will be calling himself a ceramic engineer.

[Chemical engineers]…are not even able to persuade the
engineers that we are engineers.

One has to look out for engineers — they begin with sewing
machines and end up with the atomic bomb.

===========================================================

Engineers tend to prefer saying that they are being convincing
rather than persuasive, and the very fact that
they choose a different term suggests that, at least for
them, persuasion has associations that are not applicable
to the relationship between engineers and their readers.
