Hey look buddy, I'm an engineer. That means I solve problems, not problems like "What is beauty?" Because that would fall within the purview of your conundrums of philosophy. I solve practical problems, for instance: how am I going to stop some mean mother Hubbard from tearing me a structurally superfluous be-hind? The answer, use a gun, and if that don't work... Use more gun. Take for instance this heavy caliber tripod mounted lil' old number designed by me, built by me, and you best hope... Not pointed at you.

Get the the engineer mug.Hey look buddy. I'm an engineer. That means I solve problems.
A shot rings out and a bullet hole appears next to the Engineer's head
Engie: Not problems like "What is beauty?", 'cause that would fall within the purview of your conundrums of philosophy.
Another two bullet holes appear, on the other side of the Engie's head.
Engineer: I solve practical problems.
the shot zooms out to show a level 2 sentry shooting offscreen while the Engie takes a long drink from his beer.
Heavy: AAAAGGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!
Engineer: For instance, how am I gonna stop some big mean Mother-Hubbard from tearin' me a structurally superfluous new behind?
A level 1 sentry turns around and shoots a sniper who was trying to creep up on the Engie from behind.
Engineer: The answer? Use a gun. And if that don't work, use more gun.
Another level 3 sentry fired a salvo of rockets, blowing up someone offscreen.
Someone, probably the scout: MY AAAARRRMMMM!!!!!
a blown-off hand lands at the Engie's feet
Engie: Like this, heavy-caliber tripod-mounted little-old-number designed by me,
Engie kicks the hand off screen as a level 1 sentry blows it apart
Engie: Built by me,
A level 1 sentry shoots offscreen
Engie: and you best hope;
The Engie's expression darkens, and he stares right at the camera
Engie: not pointed at you.
