the heart of an engineer (Score 2, Funny)

I once found my husband - a software engineer - pondering the Mars Rovers after a scotch. He apologized for getting emotional, but I empathized.

"They are out there, so far away from Earth, far from the people who care about them. Alone. And they will probably never come back."

Tell me that doesn't make you a little misty-eyed!

To cheer him up, I added, "But this is what they were built for! Those little Rovers are having the time of their lives, riding over boulders and exploring craters..."

An engineer is a boy at heart.
