THE ENGINEER IDENTIFICATION TEST

1. Straighten it.
2. Ignore it.
3. Buy a CAD system and spend the next six months designing a solar-powered,

Preparing for a tag sale at our house, my wife and I decided to put out a mirror we'd received as a wedding gift. Because of its garish aqua colored metal frame we just couldn't find a room in our house where it looked good. Shortly after the tag sale started, a man looking to decorate his apartment bought it for one dollar.
"This is a great deal," he said excitedly." It still has the plastic on it."
Then he peeled off the aqua colored protective covering to reveal a beautiful gold finished frame.
One day two blondes walk into a bar. They go up to the bar tender, order somes drinks and then go to a table and celebrating and chanting, "51 days,51 days,51 days!" A couple seconds later two more blondes walk in, order drinks, and go to the same table as the other blondes and start chanting, "51 days,51 days,51 days!" Then another blonde walks in and goes up to the bar. The bar tender notices a picture frame in her hand. She gets her drink and goes to the same table, sets the picture in the middle of the table and starts chanting "51 days." The bar tender was so curious what they were doing so he went over and saw a puzzle in the picture frame on the table. Finally, he asked the blonde, "What are you guys celebrating and why are you chanting 51?"
The blonde replied, "Well, we all put this puzzle together and on the box it said 2 to 4 years but we put it together in 51 days!"
Hi. I'm Mike. I'd like to (sex) tell you about some weird psychological phenomenon (sleep with me) that has been in the media forefront (I'm your love slave) in the past few years. I'm talking about subliminal suggestion.
Subliminal suggestion (buy me a car) is a technique in which the subconscious is made aware of a concept by having it exposed (and a stereo) to them too fast or in a way the the conscious mind can pick (you want me) up. Thus, the person so suggested (my room 8PM tonite) finds himself doing something that he ordinarily wouldn't do (bring clean sheets).
This technique was often seen being used (I'll get the champagne) in movie theatres, where one frame of a film would have a message like "Buy the popcorn." (and the condoms). This one frame goes by so fast the the conscious mind can't possibly assimilate it (I have incredible stamina), but many believe that the subconscious picks it up and causes the mind (I really want you) to act on it.
