IJMC - It's Your Choice

I like sending out things like this...it's got a few years to get around 
to everyone before I get my degree...as an engineer. <grin>        -dave









            Why a Woman should choose an Engineer
             for a Husband vs. Other professions.

Doctor:
 Supposedly, all women are after a Doctor, so don't expect
 your relationship to last more than 5 years.  Eventually, he'll
 run off with some nurse from his office, or one of his young women
 patients that is pretending to be sick.  He'll wait until you are
 stuck with a few kids to do this.  This is not a problem with your
 Engineer husband.  He had a hard enough time meeting you.
 It is unlikely, he'll ever meet another woman in his profession.

Lawyer:
a) You seriously expect an honest, trusting relationship with
   someone who gets paid for lying?  Once again, this is not a
   problem with your Engineer spouse.  He doesn't have enough
   social skills to lie convincingly.
b) Another drawback is when the divorce happens you will get nothing.

Sales:
 See honesty (a), under Lawyer.  Plus, he will be travelling
 to trade shows, etc. where he will be in the company of other equally
 trustworthy individuals.  Don't be surprised when you get the
 invitation to show up on the Ricki Lake show.  The company that
 your engineer husband works at will keep him in a cage, often
 called a cubicle, until he is ready to go home to you.

Hazardous professions, such as Police Officer, Firefighter,
Construction Worker, etc:
 Your husband, if he is not dead by some accident, will likely be
 crippled with a back injury, etc just about the time you are at
 your  sexual peak.  The only hazards that your engineer husband
 will face is losing his eyesight by staring at the terminal for
 too long.  This hazard actually has some benefits.  For one,
 he will not notice that you are getting older, since you will
 be a blur.  He will remember you as when he first met you,
 because the memory will be the only way he can see you.
 Also, when some beautiful girl walks by, and you ask
 "Honey, were you looking at her?", he'll honestly be able to say
 that he didn't even see her.

Teacher:
 The only reason he entered this profession is so that he could
 be surrounded by newly post-pubescent girls who idolize him.
 He'll be in jail soon, and then you'll have to look for another man.

Minister:
 See Teacher, substitute boy for girl.
