You're an engineer, right?

Festus

Depends

Middle-Aged Nerd

On what?

This is a yes or no question here

Festus

It depends

Are you asking if I have a degree in engineering?

Have a job related to engineering?

Or if I know how to do the things an engineer would?

Middle-Aged Nerd

You're definitely an engineer

Festus

I haven't even answered

Middle-Aged Nerd

You just made it complicated

Engineers love doing that

Festus

True

Middle-Aged Nerd

So which are you?

Job, hobby, or degree?

Festus

Hmm

Don't have a degree

Don't have a job, period

But I'm smarter than most of my friends, however much they deny it

Middle-Aged Nerd

How old are you?

If you need a job, I literally run a company that always could use a few extra hands

Festus

Don't you know never to ask a woman her age?

You'd think being so smart would make you think twice before you start typing

Middle-Aged Nerd

So you're a woman in her... mid-twenties?

I'm usually apt at guessing people's ages

Festus

Yes, I'm sure you had lots of practice with all those women you took home

Middle-Aged Nerd

Wow.

I'm hurt.

Festus

And you're a big baby

Plus a terrible guesser

Your estimate was not even remotely close

A woman in her mid-twenties?

Just because I talk like I'm twenty doesn't mean I am
