I found this clip a long time ago, and was going to share it today as I was going through some old files.

Then I found out the clip I had was in fact part of an extended version, and also part of the TV series Dilbert.

Anyways, for your listening pleasure, I present to you.

"The Knack" - Do your engineers posses this curse?

Oh man, one of our alumni showed us all that episode of Dilbert last year... it's much better as a cartoon.

I wouldnt just classify some engineers as having the "knack" but also some kids do. I can take apart almost anything and fix it. Just like most of everybody in FIRST.

a few months ago, at my brother-in-law's wedding, my Brother-in-law said something to me (after consuming an unknown number of adult beverages) which I think is relavent...

He was telling his groomsmen...

"Brian's cool and funny. When I first met him, I thought he had poor social skills, but then I realized he acts like that for his own amusement."

I guess that mean's I have part of "the knack".

But I really find that clip far too true far too often.
