Computer Nerds Not Allowed! |
|
A truck
driver, hauling a tractor-trailer load of computers, stops for a beer.
As he approaches the bar, he sees a big sign on the door that says,
"COMPUTER NERDS NOT ALLOWED - ENTER AT YOUR OWN RISK!" He enters and
sits down.
The bartender comes over to him, sniffs, and says that he smells kind
of nerdy. He then asks him what he does for a living. The truck driver
explains to him that he drives a truck, and the smell is just from the
computers he is hauling. The bartender serves him a beer and says,
"OK, truck drivers aren't nerds."
As he is sipping his beer, a skinny guy walks in wearing a pair of
glasses with tape around the middle, a pocket protector with twelve
kinds of pens and pencils, and a belt that is at least a foot too
long. The bartender, without saying a word, pulls out a shotgun and
blows the guy away. The truck driver asks him why he did that.
The bartender replied, "Don't worry. The computer nerds are in season
because they are overpopulating Silicon Valley. You don't even need a
license."
So the truck driver finishes his beer, gets back in his truck, and
heads for the freeway. Suddenly, he veers to avoid an accident, and
the load shifts. The back door breaks open and computers spill out all
over the road. He jumps out and sees a crowd already forming,
snatching up all of the computers. The scavengers are comprised of
engineers, accountants and programmers - computer geeks. Each of them
wearing the nerdiest clothes he has ever seen.
He can't let them steal his whole load. So remembering what happened
in the bar, he pulls out his gun and starts blasting away, killing
several of them instantly. A highway patrol officer comes zooming up
and jumps out of the car screaming at him to stop.
The truck driver said, "What's wrong? I thought computer nerds were in
season."
"Well, sure," says the patrolman, "But you can't bait 'em!"
