A Memorable Senior Moment

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

An impertinent university freshman took it upon himself to explain to a senior citizen standing next to him at a bus stop that it was impossible for older people to understand his generation.

"You grew up in a different world," the student said in a voice loud enough for the other passengers to hear, "actually, an almost primitive one."

The elderly man said nothing.

The student continued. "The young people of today grew up with television, jet planes, space travel, man walking on the moon, our spaceships have visited Mars. We have nuclear energy, electric and hydrogen cars, computers with light-speed processing and.."

The student paused to take a breath and the senior took advantage of the break in the young man's litany and said: "You're quite right, son. We didn't have those things when we were young...so we invented them."

"Now, you arrogant little twerp, what are you doing for the next generation?"

The applause was resounding.
