BreakPoint
Programming Joke
I though everyone could use a joke to break up the day, so enjoy 
A wife asks her husband, a computer programmer; "Could you please go to the store for me and buy one carton of milk, and if they have eggs, get 6!"
A short time later the husband comes back with 6 cartons of milk.
The wife asks him, "Why the hell did you buy 6 cartons of milk?"
He replied, "They had eggs."
There are only 10 kinds of people in this world: those who know binary and those who don’t.
When working second shift for DEC back in the 80's I called a customer who said;
"I am so gald you called! I have a tape* stuck in my disk drive and can't get it out."

* Tape an ancient form of backup media that ranged from paper with holes punched in it to a flexble substrate with ferous material coating the surfce in which magnetic domains recorded ones and zeros. Just thought I shoud add that for the younger readers.

This most excellent joke reminds me of some evolutionary grafetti we had in Pittsburgh. On a bridge abutment someone painted;
Free Larouch!
Kill Satan!
A latter modification turned it into;
To Do List
1) Free Larouch!
2) Kill Satan
3) Bring home eggs.
And then again there was the one liner from the early days of convieince stores that went;
"What do you mean you are out of milk, eggs, and cigarettes ?! What kind of gas station is this?"
One more comes to mind which is of the same form as the joke and comes from (I believe) one of the books of the Kings (maybe 2) where Jerusalem was under seige by the Serians (?) and they were out numbered 100 to 1. The Serian side of the story alludes to a plague or something similar but the King james translation reads (almost verbatem);
"And the next morning when they woke up, they were all dead."
