Boring - See Civil Engineering
Boring - See Civil Engineering
(OP)
I recall at university (Southampton England 96-99) a running joke involving the yellow pages.
Some smart alec had noticed that if you looked up boring (as in drilling) in the local yellow pages it said "See Civil Engineering".
We took great delight in pointing this out to our Soil Scientist Colleagues.
Does anyone else recall seeing this, I'm starting to think I imagined it as I looked in my local yellow pages the other day and it didn't have it.
Or, anyone have anything similar?

You only need to know 3 things to be a Civil Engineer:
You can't push on a rope
Dirt + Water = Mud
S*** flows downhill

During my days at the Uni, there was a studious ME student I met in the library who said he had thought Civil Engineering was boring, yet he had never worked in the field. Perhaps, though, there you go, he was referring to what he saw in the Yellow Pages!

Say, I would like a copy of that Yellow Pages reference.

The one I saw it in was Southampton UK version, early to mid 90s.
