  1. I'll just counter with a programmer's joke.

    "How many programmer's does it take to scren in a lightbulb?

    None. You see, that's a hardware problem!"

  2. *Loud groans*.

    I'm not adding any lawyer jokes here. Lawyers and lightbulbs don't mix. ; )

  3. I love lawyer jokes! Here are some I posted last year...

    Q: What's the difference between a dead skunk in the road and a dead lawyer in the road?

    A: There are skid marks in front of the skunk.

    Q. Why is it that many lawyers have broken noses?

    A. From chasing parked ambulances.

    Q. If you see a lawyer on a bicycle, why don't you swerve to hit him?

    A. It might be your bicycle.

    Q. What's the difference between a catfish and a lawyer?

    A. One's a slimy scum-sucking scavenger, the other is just a fish.

    A man walked into a bar with his alligator and asked the bartender, "Do you serve lawyers here?". "Sure do," replied the bartender. "Good," said the man. "Give me a beer, and I'll have a lawyer for my 'gator."

  4. Avrom - :::grumble::: Reminds me of a Dell joke: "I'm sorry, sir, but your warranty covers everything but this."

    Oh, wait. That's not funny.

    (I lump anyone who works with computers together.)

    Irina - Hehe!

    CWY - I remember those! The catfish one is my favorite.

  5. I hope I'm not the only one laughing out loud! Reminds me of my first audit where the team leader handed me a folder and said just copy the manuscript from last year and fill in the blanks. Honestly I had no clue what I was doing.

    Fortunately, after I left that team and moved to a new workplace I had the opportunity to rebuild certain audits from the ground up and finally understood the big picture.

    Hope all is well. :)

  6. SL - LOL. Honestly, this client is big enough that I'm actually learning a ton (though the other junior isn't), plus I was trained for another client and picked up a lot there, too.

    It's going really well... at least for me. :P

  7. Ezzie, it is very true though. Most programmers do not like dealing with hardware. Software is an abstraction that likes to assume that the hardware it is running on is (mostly) fine. If there is a problem, well, let the IT guy take care of it.

    What's the difference between a _____ and a trampoline?


    You take your shoes _off_ to jump on the trampoline!
