Not funny.

I thought I knew who I am.
Now I don't know that anymore.
Even less funny.
Thank you so much.
:-P
Just kidding, to make things clear. But with a grain of truth. We
mathematicians tend to make fun of engineers. I used to do that, too.
(I still do that, it's soooo much fun.) But OTOH, engineers are cooler
than pure mathematicians in one respect: they (sometimes) come up with
solutions - sometimes ugly, sometimes stupid - to /real world problems/.
Hard to beat that.
Best,
