Got this from a "bad joke" thread elsewhere....

A woman asks her husband, a programmer, to go shopping.

Dear, please go to the nearby store to buy some bread.
Also, if they have eggs, buy 6.

O.K., hun.

Twenty minutes later the husband comes back bringing
6 loaves of bread.

His wife is flabbergasted.

Dear, why on earth did you buy 6 loves of bread?

They had eggs.

This is why there needs to be a social convention that all instructions be delivered in strict logical format, preferably some sort of generic pseudo-code.

Not the most clever joke I've heard.

I have a bunch of one-liners I found on the web a while back:

If at first you don't succeed, you must be a programmer.

God is real, unless declared an integer.

If it happens once, it's a bug.
If it happens twice, it's a feature.
If it happens three times, it's a design philosophy.

All programmers are playwrights and all computers are lousy actors.

At the source of every error blamed on the computer, you will find two human errors, including the error of blaming it on the computer.

Any computer program, when running, is obsolete.

Technology is dominated by those who manage what they can not understand.

To err is human. To really foul things up requires a computer. To create utter chaos with no perceivable possibility of salvation requires an MBA.

If it won't get signal, you're holding it wrong.

Should these be in the Adult Issues section?

Why? Or are you making some kind of joke that I'm missing?

Why do computer programmers always have trouble realizing that Halloween and Christmas are not the same holiday?

Because Oct. 31 == Dec. 25.

(If you're not a programmer then it's probably not possible to get the joke.)
