A Programmer & an Engineer.... nyuk, nyuk

• Messages sorted by:[ date ][ thread ][ subject ][ author ]

Greetings Saints in Jesus name!

I'm sending all ya'll saints this nyuk, nyuk because you either *know*
a computer programmer or an engineer (maybe).  In my case, I'm a programmer/
analyst and I've got a brother that's an civil engineer.  Whoever wrote this,
needs to write another piece of humor where the computer programmer gets the
engineer back..... (I'm really not revengeful....)... although I must admit
that I've relied on WWW search engines in much the same way as the programmer
in this nyuk, nyuk used his laptop computer.... enjoy!

Bro. Tyler

A Programmer and an Engineer were sitting next to each other on an
airplane.

The Programmer leans over to the Engineer and asks if he wants to
play a fun game.

The Engineer just wants to sleep so he politely declines, turns away
and tries to sleep.   

The Programmer persists and explains that it's a real easy game.

He explains, "I ask a question and if you don't know the answer you
pay me $5.  Then you ask a question and if I don't know the answer
I'll pay you $5."

Again the Engineer politely declines and tries to sleep.  

The Programmer, now somewhat agitated, says, "O.K., if you don't know
the answer you pay me $5 and if I don't know the answer I pay you
$50!"

Now, that got the Engineer's attention, so he agrees to the game. 

The Programmer asks the first question, "What's the distance from the
earth to the moon?"   

Then Engineer doesn't say a word and just hands the Programmer $5. 

Now, its the Engineer's turn. He asks the Programmer,"What goes up a
hill with three legs and comes down on four?" 

The Programmer looks at him with a puzzled look, takes out his laptop
computer, looks through all his references and after about an hour
hands the Engineer $50. 

The Engineer politely takes the $50 turns away and tries to sleep. 

The Programmer, a little miffed, asks, "Well what's the answer to the
question?" 

Without a word, the Engineer reaches into his wallet, hands $5 to the
Programmer, turns away and tries to sleep.
