THE PROGRAMMER AND THE ENGINEER
College & Science Jokes
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 wakes the Engineer and
hands the Engineer $50. The Engineer politely takes the $50 turns
away and tries to return 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 returns to sleep.
