Engineer Puns That Will Build Up Your Day

Last week, I tried to fix a squeaky door hinge at home, feeling like a true genius in overalls. I grabbed a wrench, made a dramatic face like an action hero, and declared myself “an honorary engineer ” for the day.

Within five minutes, I had somehow locked myself inside the closet. My family had to rescue me with a screwdriver and a healthy dose of mockery.
