An Engineer's Joke
This is quite an old joke, I just added a bit (to knock economists) and retell it here in my own words:
A physicist, an economist, a mathematician, and an engineer, travelling together by train, cross the border between England and Scotland.
The physicist points out of the window and says: "Look, the sheep in Scotland are black!"
The economist doesn't even look up, and says: "According to my models there are no black sheep, so I will ignore it and maybe consider it as special case later."
The mathematician looks at the physicist wearily and says: "Stop generalising. Just say there are black sheep in Scotland."
The engineer looks around in disbelief, sighs deeply, and says: "All we know for certain is that there is at least one sheep in Scotland that is black on at least one side."
Scotland and her damned mysterious black sheep
It's black sheep all the way down.
Ha, ha, ha. My partner is an engineer @ocrdu! 😂

That gave me a good chuckle. I appreciated that. :D
I've been called the black sheep of the family. Glad to hear I may only be one-sided. I feel much better now. I think. Wonder what's on my other side...
Why? You don't come across as evil.
"Muuhaaaa". Just practicing my dastardly deed laugh. No, not particularly evil. More of the middle child, 'odd uncle' type. Maybe that's just an off-white sheep, rather than black, or at least one sided gray, since you are an engin-neer.
