Rules of Thumb for the Military

Engineering & Science Humor - RF CafeThese 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.

Humor #1, #2, #3

These rules of thumb are followed by those who survive the military and go on to other vocations. Send me an e-mail if you have other good ones to add.

  • "When a crash seems inevitable, endeavour to strike the softest, cheapest object in the vicinity, as slowly and gently as possible." - Advice given to RAF pilots during W.W.II

  • "The only thing more accurate than incoming enemy fire is incoming friendly fire." Anon
