| The Programmer and the Engineer A programmer and an engineer are sitting next to each other an a plane. The programmer leans over and asks the engineer if he wants to play a fun game. The engineer just wants to sleep so he politely declines and turns away to get some sleep. The programmer persists though and explains it's a really easy game. He explains "I ask a question and if you don't know the answer you give me �5. Then you ask a question and if I don't know the answer I give you �5". Once again the engineer declines and tries to get some sleep. The programmer, now somewhat agitated, persists. "OK so if I don't know the answer to your question I'll give you �50" Now that got the attention of the engineer and he agrees to the game. The programmer asks the first question "What is the distance from the earth to the moon?" The engineer doesn't say a word and hands the programmer �5. Now it's the engineers turn. He asks the programmer "What goes up the hill with 3 legs, and comes down the hill with 4 legs?" The programmer looks at him with a puzzled look, takes out his laptop, looks through all his references then after about an hour, awakes the engineer and hands him �50. The engineer politely takes the �50 and turns away to fall to sleep again. The programmer, a little miffed, says "So what's the answer to that question?" Without a word, the engineer reaches into his wallet and hands the programmer �5, turns away and returns to sleep! Dilberts Salary Theorem The above states why "engineers and scientists will never earn as much as business executives, sales men, accountants and liberal arts majors." This can now be supported by a mathematical equation based on the 2 well known postulates: POSTULATE 1: Time is money POSTULATE 2: Knowledge is power And as every engineer knows, Power = work / time Since knowlegde = power then knowledge = work / time and time = money Therefore, knowledge = work / money Solving for money we get money = work / knowledge Thus, as knowledge approaches zero, money approaches infinity, regardless of the work done! For one of the best, well not exactly a joke but anyway, click the link below and enjoy! It's time to decide... 3 blondes 3 blondes get to a lake that has alligators in it and can't get across. They each get a wish. The first blonde wishes she can fly and starts flying over the lake. But she gets tired and falls and gets eaten by the alligators. The second blonde wishes she could swim really fast and starts swimming across the lake. She too gets tired and eaten by the alligators. The third blonde wishes she was a brunnette and walks over the bridge! Blonde Joke no. 2 Two blonde are stood opposite each other on a river. One on one side, the other on the other. One blonde shouts to the other "how do I get to the other side" "I don't know" the 2nd blonde shouts back. "You are on the other side!" Rope Joke A rope walks into a bar and says "Can I have a pint of beer please?" "I'm sorry" Says that barman "we don't serve ropes" So the rope leaves. Half an hour later, sporting a hat the rope walks back into the bar and asks again getting the same response. Leaving again he decides to find some glasses to add to his disguise but when he returns he has the same response from the barman. Getting mighty annoyed and thirsty the rope thinks up another plan. So he goes away and ties a not in his middle and cuts the top off. Half an hour later he returns to the bar and says "Can I have a pint of beer please" "Are you a rope?" Says that barman. "Nope" Says the rope "I'm a frayed knot" |
