There has been an amount about Engineers on the list recently... This is
for the Air Transport industry, but is generally applicable.  ^_-

The Airline Transport Pilot :
Leaps tall buildings at a single bound, is more powerful than a Boeing
747, is faster than a speeding bullet, walks on water and discusses
policy with God.

The Multi-Engined Pilot:
Leaps short buildings at a single bound, is more powerful than a Boeing
707, is just as fast as a speeding bullet, walks on water if it is calm
and talks to God

The Instrumental Pilot :
Leaps short buildings with a running start and favourable conditions, is
almost as powerful as a Learjet, nearly as fast as a speeding bullet,
walks on water of an indoor pool and talks to God if a special request
is made

The Commercial Pilot :
Leaves high marks when attempting to leap short buildings, loses a
tug-of-war with a twin engined plane, can fire a speeding bullet, swims
well and is occasionally addressed by God

The Private Pilot:
Barely clears a camping tent, is run over by a single engined plane,
sometimes recognises a speeding bullet, can dog paddle and talks to
animals

The Soloed Student Pilot:
Runs into buildings,  recognises a Cessna 172 two times out of three,
has never seen a speeding bullet, can stay afloat if properly
instructed, and talks to water

The Non-Soloed Student Pilot:
Falls over door sills when trying to enter buildings, says "Look at the
aeroplanes", Wets himself with a waterpistol and mumbles to himself

The Engineer:
Lifts buildings and walks under them, kicks aeroplanes out of hangers,
catches speeding bullets with his teeth and chews them up, and freezes
water with a single glance.

THE ENGINEER IS GOD.

ROTFL!  These are great.  But here's one that I just made up for those
of us who are Areospace Engineers <Yes, the ego of an engineer combined
with the cockiness of a pilot ;) >

The Aerospace Engineer:
Launches spacecraft over the moon with a single toss, can give you the catalogue
numbers of every single aircraft part in a single glance, catches speeding
bullets with his teeth to chew them up and spit out a faster one, freezes
those who dare to disagree with a single glance, and looks down on god.
