Ask Slashdot: What's The Worst IT-Related Joke You've Ever Heard?

Posted by EditorDavid on from the monkey-walks-into-a-bar dept.

dryriver writes: In just about any field of employment -- whether you're a 3D artist, a pastry chef or a lawyer -- there's an abundance of jokes related to the profession, or to situations commonly encountered during that profession. Some are pretty good, some so-so, and some are very, very bad.

What I want to know is, what are the absolute WORST computer or IT related jokes you've either heard from someone, found on the internet or possibly even invented yourself? And since this is Slashdot, feel free to throw in science-related jokes as well, provided that they are just as bad as the computer or IT jokes.
Leave your best answers in the comments. What's the worst IT (or science)-related joke you've ever heard?

      What people do mind, though, is paying those extra 10 bucks to retain the service they already have.

      It's just that most people with actual jobs don't really care about paying a $10 extra if it means a better quality of service.

      Maybe some people care even more about paying $10 *extra* for *worse* quality of service?

    Wow. Spot the person so young that he doesn't realise that his joke is about a CPU three generations earlier than the one that he remembers.

    I think you're confusing comedy with horror.
