A woman asks her husband, a software-developer-turned-pastor, to go shopping:
We need some more glue sticks for our arts and crafts this coming Sunday. Would you mind getting me some? If they have permanent markers, get 10.
To which the husband responds:
w00t.
Half an hour later he returns with 10 glue sticks. His wife, now extremely irritated, mutters:
Sweety… Why did you get 10 glue sticks?
Without skipping a beat the husband replies:
They had permanent markers.
[The End]

It’s funny because it’s true. I’m a perl guy, so suffixed conditionals are my bread and butter. And sometimes, now that I’m studying pastoral ministry, I have to do a lot of translating between the way I think and the way that most other people think.

That’s an oldie but a goodie!
I heard it with Eggs and Bread at the supermarket years ago back in Java Class…

An SQL query walks into a bar, goes up to two tables, and asks “can I join you?”
Gareth says
I’m a software developer and it took me all of 2 minutes to realize what she actually wanted. I think I would have done exactly the same.

Yeah that made me smile…

LOL for real.
