A little Monday AM humor to start your week....



This truck driver hauling a tractor-trailer load of computers stops for a
beer.  As he approaches the bar he sees a big sign on the door saying:
"NERDS NOT ALLOWED-ENTER AT YOUR OWN RISK!"  He goes in and sits down. The
bartender comes over to him, sniffs, says he smells kind of nerdy, asks him
what he does for a living.  The truck
driver says he drives a truck, and the smell is just from the computers he
is hauling. The bartender says OK, truck drivers are not nerds, and serves
him a beer.

As he is sipping his beer, a skinny guy walks in with tape around his
glasses, a pocket protector with twelve kinds of pens and pencils, and a
belt at least a foot too long.  The bartender, without saying a word, pulls
out a shotgun and blows the guy away.

The truck driver asks him why he did that.  The bartender said not to
worry, the nerds are overpopulating the Silicon Valley, and are in season
now.  You don't even need a license, he said.

So the truck driver finishes his beer, gets back in his truck, and heads
back onto the freeway.  Suddenly he veers to avoid an accident, and the
load shifts.  The back door breaks open and computers spill out all over
the freeway.  He jumps out and sees a crowd already forming, grabbing up
the computers.  They are all engineers, accountants and programmers wearing
the nerdiest clothes he has ever seen.  He can't let them steal his whole
load.  So remembering what happened in the bar, he pulls out his gun and
starts blasting away, felling several of them instantly.

A highway patrol officer comes zooming up and jumps out of the car
screaming at him to stop. The truck driver said, "What's wrong?  I thought
nerds were in season."

"Well, sure," said the patrolman, "But you can't bait 'em."
