I have several retired bum engineer friends here at our club in the Mtns: aeronautical, chemical, aerospace/physics, mechanical, electrical, computer, etc. Lotsa top schools from back in the '50s, '60s, & '70s...although some very good friends in the bunch, most would
never admit to a klutzy move like that. I am impressed at your self-deprecation. We are all human...
