OT: My New Millenium's Resolution is to get Serious:
Nerd Season
A 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, "You smell kind of nerdy. What do you do for a living?"
The truck driver says, "I drive a truck, and the smell is just from the
computers I'm hauling."
The bartender says, "Okay, truck drivers are not nerds," and serves
him a beer. As he sips 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 is shocked. "Why did you do that?"
The bartender says, "Not to worry, the nerds are overpopulating Silicon
Valley. They're in season now. You don't even need a license."
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 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 zooms up and jumps out of his car, screaming
at him to stop.
The truck driver asks, "What's wrong? I thought nerds were in season."
"Well, sure," replies the patrolman. "But you can't bait 'em."
