There's a thread on the Joel on Software forum about
computer
nerd jokes which gave me a chance to contribute my favorite:
A manager, engineer, and software developer are returning from a company retreat in the mountains. As they drive down the steep mountain road, their brakes fail, and their car careens down the slope. By some miracle, the car catches on a guiderail and comes to a stop.
They get out of the car to inspect the damage and figure out what to do next.
The manager says, "We must formulate an Action Plan that will utilize the Synergy of our three diverse skill sets to solve this problem. First, let's gather some requirements..."
From underneath the car, the engineer says, "No, that's a waste of time. I can see the brake line came off. I've got my leatherman right here. I'll just fix it and we can be on our way."
"Well," says the software developer, "before we do anything, I think we should push the car back up the mountain and see if it happens again."
