Humour

Post by Mr_Navigator »

For all those programmers out there

There's a band called 1023Mb. They haven't had any gigs yet

The programmers wife tells him, "run to the shops and get a loaf of bread. If they have any eggs, get a dozen". He comes back with 12 loaves.

And for you engineers out there

Einstein, Newton and Pascal decide to play Hide and Seek. Einstein goes first and covers his eyes and starts counting to ten. Pascal immediately runs off. Newton on the other hand draws a square on the floor 1 meter by 1 meter right in front of Einstein and then stands in the middle of it.
Einstein finishes counting to ten, uncovers his eyes and exclaims, I found you Newton, your it!

Newton smiles and says "you didn't find me, you found a Newton over a square meter, you found Pascal!".

There are more but these were my favourites.

Regards
Lee

HAHAhAhAhaAHhaHAAm ssso good!!!

Let's go:

A gypsy tryng to log in Facebook: "Aaarrrgh, what's up with this, it says 'your password is wrong', and then I write 'wrong' but still doesn't go!!!"


Let's go with another:

"Hi, flks, new keybard is sld, gd price, nly ne key fails"


And this:

A guy is standing on the corner of the street smoking one cigarette after another. A lady walking by notices him and says: -“Hey, don’t you know that those things can kill you? I mean, didn’t you see the giant warning on the box?!” -“That’s OK” says the guy, puffing casually “I’m a computer programmer” -“So? What’s that got to do with anything?” -“We don’t care about warnings. We only care about errors.”


:-D

I find this one really funny, because it reminds me of a silly cock-up I made at work many years ago along these lines. I'd got up early one morning to do some coding of a QL program that involved deeply nested IF...THEN...ELSE statements and by the time I got to work I was still "thinking in SuperBASIC" so of course when someone told me to do something which involved deciding something based on several issues, that kind of mistake and misunderstanding happened because of the train of thought.

Well, in the real life some days ago I wrote on a sheet of paper something, don't remember what, and then I took the mouse of the PC to try to copy it and paste it, on the paper!!!!

And this one is real too: when I was 11, in 1983, the teacher put me to write 100 times the sentence: "I must not speak at classroom". What I did in the notebook was this:

Code: Select all

10 FOR N = 1 TO 100
20 PRINT "I MUST NOT SPEAK AT CLASSROOM"
30 NEXT N
Of course when my teacher read this, forced me to write 500 times the sentence USING A PENCIL :-(

Well that's easy

Code: Select all

100 FOR f = 1 to 500
110   PRINT "USING A PENCIL",
120 END FOR f

I see. I was bit upset, because (for unknown reasons) nearly everybody uses "i".
