Programmer joke

One day, a programmer's wife tells her husband: "Dear, we've run out of bread, so go and buy two loaves. Oh, and if they have eggs, buy a dozen."

The programmer nods, commits the list to memory and leaves for the store.

After a while he returns with twelve loaves of bread. "Why the hell did you buy all this bread?" asks the wife; and the programmer answers "They had eggs."

when I wuz a young freshman, our (famous) computer center director told us this:

Computers are very very fast

But they are very very stupid.


That has been good advice all thru the punch card era, teletype & then line mode CRT terminals... and on to the fluffy GUI-ey world of today.

A computer software specialist, hardware specialist, and salesman were riding in a brand new car when the car got a flat tire. All three got out and started to discuss what it would take to fix it.
The software fellow said it needed to re-flash the onboard computer chip.
The hardware fellow said it needed to be upgraded to higher performance parts.
The salesman looked at them in disbelief and said "Are you guys nuts? Obviously the car is outdated and needs a complete replacement!"

A mechanical engineer, a geology engineer, a chemical engineer, and an IT went out to lunch. On the way back the car shaked and engine died.
The driver, mechanical engineer, pulled over and said "there must be something wrong with the battery".
The geology guy said, "I think there was an earth quake".
The chemical engineer said, "I think there might be water in the gas tank".
The IT guy, who is the smartest said, "we should look for solution, not keep guessing about the problem".
Everyone asked "what do you think?".
He said: "first of all, let's all get out of the car, get back in, and start the engine". Hint: rebooting
