It’s Official: Engineers Aren’t Boring Anymore

Civil engineers have convinced the London Yellow Pages they aren’t boring anymore.

For decades, anybody who needed a hole bored could have found a somewhat insulting listing. “Boring: see civil engineers.”

This prompted many jokes. The Institution of Civil Engineers finally stopped laughing and lobbied for a new directory listing.

“It’s by no means that we have no sense of humor, but after all these years, the story got a bit boring,” Deputy Secretary John Whitwell said.

The engineers quickly found light at the end of their tunnel. The printers of the Yellow Pages caved in and agreed that future listings will say “Boring: See sites exploration.”
