I stumbled across this page which has some classic engineer humor from "back in the day". Here’s an example:
A surgeon, a civil engineer, and a software engineer were arguing about whose was the oldest profession.
The surgeon remarked, "Well, in the Bible it says that God created Eve from a rib taken from Adam. This clearly required surgery so I can rightly claim that mine is the oldest of our professions."
The civil engineer interrupted and said "But even earlier in the book of Genesis, it states that God created the order out of the heavens and the earth from out of the chaos. This was the first and certainly the most spectacular application of civil engineering. Therefore, you are wrong. Mine is the oldest profession."
The software engineer leaned back in his chair, smiled, and said confidently, "Ah, but who do you think created the chaos?"
