During an alcohol-fueled bitch-fest offsite strategy session this afternoon, one of my colleagues shared a great “dork boy engineer” story.* After returning to the office following a doctors appointment, an electrical engineer (EE) relayed to his boss a tale of medical woe…
Informing the engineer that medical testing would be necessary to determine the root of the problem, the doctor said “is digital testing ok?” Seeing as this gent puts the “EE” in “Geek”, digital is always better than analog, so he consented to the test.
Needless to say, engineer-boy was brought back to reality by the jarring snap of a rubber glove…
* The “boss” in this case is the wife of my colleague, also an engineer, who apparently supervises some extraordinarily geek-erific people.

Well at least at the next Star Trek convention he goes to he can tell people he’s been probed…
Ha! Wait, that’s not funny.
“Now let’s see… he had his left hand on my left shoulder. No, wait – he had his right hand on my left shoulder. Hang on, he had both hands on both shoulders!!!“
Oh, and before I forget: Ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah! Hahahaha. Ahaha. *sigh*

No, just some bad memories from Middle School.
I had to forward this one to my husband the computer geek. 🙂
hello there awalkabout… shouldn’t your husband the computer geek have found it first 🙂
uncle keith – sorry to hear that. i was the comical fat girl that let the scrawny nerd boys out of the lockers after the jocks moved on to the next victim… i still hate bullies.
awalkabout – something totally charming about the nerd herd, isn’t there?
nm – he was probably buried in the latest Wired magazine…
