Which Sheldon Cooper Quote Best Sums You Up as an Engineer?

It ought to be no surprise that the increasingly hilarious You Know You're an Engineer When... conversation has taken a hairpin turn toward Sheldonville, and I've been wondering how Dr. Cooper has influenced you as an engineer.

 

Which of his deadpan one liners rang particularly true for you, and which of his irritating idiosyncrasies made your friends and family cast a furtive glance in your direction when he said them?

 

I want to know which Sheldon Cooper quotes sum you up as an engineer, and I want you to be honest. Well, honest-ish, anyway. Okay, not honest at all -- just use this as flimsy pretext for jabbing each other in the engineering ribs.

  • You are mostly correct. The combination of a highly creative mind and usually a large amount of background in reading needed for engineering, creates a highly fertile environment for exchange. Also remember Sheldon is a theoretical physicist, not an engineer. Sheldon called engineers; oompa-loompas. Unless you work in an engineering firm without an R&D department, I am pretty sure you have run into a "Sheldon".  The actor Jim Parsons, performs a satire of the uber-nerd to create the Sheldon Character. It is because it is a satire that the situations are so incredibly funny, because we have been really close to the same thing, so many times.

     

    But I digress... I am supposed to provide a Sheldon quote.  It comes from the exchange when he keeps saying AFK while on-line gaming, and Penny asks "what does AFK mean", his reply is "away from keyboard", and Penny says "oh I see". Sheldon asks "what does that mean".

     

    Brilliant use of the "who's on first" joke.
