 These engineering and science tech-centric
jokes, song parodies, anecdotes and assorted humor have been collected from friends
and websites across the Internet. I check back occasionally for new fodder, but
it seems all the old content is reappearing all over (like this is). The humor is
light-hearted and clean and sometimes slightly assaultive to the easily-offended,
so you are forewarned. It is all workplace-safe.

The following short quiz consists of 4
questions and will tell you whether you are qualified to be a "professional".
Scroll down for each answer. The questions are NOT that difficult.
1. How do you put a giraffe into a refrigerator?
The correct answer is: Open the refrigerator, put in the giraffe, and close the door.
This question tests whether you tend to do simple things in an overly complicated way.
2. How do you put an elephant into a refrigerator?
Did you say, "Open the refrigerator, put in the elephant, and close the
refrigerator"? (Wrong Answer) Correct Answer: Open the refrigerator, take out the giraffe, put in the
elephant and close the door. This tests your ability to think through the repercussions of your
previous actions.
3. The Lion King is hosting an animal conference.
All the animals attend except one. Which animal does not attend?
Correct Answer: The Elephant. The elephant is in the refrigerator. You just put him in there. This
tests your memory. OK, even if you did not answer the first three questions correctly, you still have one
more chance to show your true abilities.
4. There is a river you must cross but it is inhabited by crocodiles.
How do you manage it?
Correct Answer: You swim across. All the crocodiles are attending the Animal Meeting. This tests
whether you learn quickly from your mistakes. According to Anderson Consulting Worldwide, around 90% of the
professionals they tested got all questions wrong. But many preschoolers got several correct answers. Anderson
Consulting says this conclusively disproves the theory that most professionals have the brains of a four year old.
