What's the Best Geek Joke You Know?

super_ogg writes "To break some of the office blues, I decided to tell the worst geek joke I know: 'Why did the Comp. Engineer get X-mas and Halloween mixed up? A: Because Oct(31) == Dec(25)!' Some groaned, some laughed, but only a geek could understand it. I was wondering what are some of the best/worst geek jokes people have out there for the Slashdot community?"

  5. Engineers.... by Prien715 · · Score: 0, Redundant

    A group of 4 engineers and a group of 4 executives were on a train. Naturally, executives are always interested in cutting costs. They asked the engineers how they always paid 1/4 the rate. The engineers said they'd demonstrate.

    The next trip, when the conductor came around to collect tickets, the engineers huddled in the bathroom. There was a knock on the door.
    "Ticket Please?"
    The engineers collectively gave him a single ticket. The executives thought this was a fabulous idea and tried the same the next trip. They huddled in the bathroom until they heard the knock on the door
    "Ticket please?"
    And then gave him their ticket.

    Never satisfied, the engineers announced an improvement in their alogrithm -- free train rides. The executives said they'd wait and see how it worked about before they switched. So again, the executives huddled in the bathroom. There was a knock on the door.
    "Ticket please?"
    So the executives gave him their ticket.
    A few minutes later, the was another knock on the door.
    "Ticket please?"

    Moral: Executives like to use things without understanding how or why they work or the ramifications thereof.

  6. Where'd you get the bike? by land · · Score: 1, Redundant

    Two engineering students were walking across campus when one said, "Where did you get such a great bike?"

    The second engineer replied, "Well, I was walking along yesterday minding my own business when a beautiful woman rode up on this bike. She threw the bike to the ground, took off all her clothes and said, 'Take what you want.'."

    The first engineer nodded approvingly, "Good choice; the clothes probably wouldn't have fit."
