Programmers Also Need Some Jokes!

Do you, as a programmer, sometimes feel bored writing many programs? Or tired struggling to design some important algorithms? I do.

Take a rest. Programmers also need refreshing activities. Maybe by reading some jokes.

I’ve searched the internet and found many amusing jokes. I read them and feel refreshed. No, they aren’t jokes you usually find in books. They are jokes about programming, the topic you’re interested in. Now I want to share them to you.

My favorite jokes so far are:

• Why do programmers always mix up Halloween and Christmas? Because Oct 31 == Dec 25 !
• How did the programmer die in the shower? He read the shampoo bottle instructions: Lather. Rinse. Repeat.
• There are only 10 kinds of people in this world: those who know binary and those who don’t.
• PnP: Plug and Pray.
• To understand what recursion is you must first understand recursion. Don’t forget to watch out for stack overflow.
• A guy is standing on the corner of the street smoking one cigarette after another. A lady walking by notices him and says
  “Hey, don’t you know that those things can kill you? I mean, didn’t you see the giant warning on the box?!”
  “That’s OK,” says the guy, puffing casually, “I’m a computer programmer.”
  “So? What’s that got to do with anything?”
  “We don’t care about warnings. We only care about errors.”

Okay, here are the links from which I found those great jokes.
