Frivolous Friday, 07.30.2010: I/T bar jokes

A Lenovo laptop walks into a bar. "Hey!" yells the bartender, "This place is non-smoking!"

A Windows program walks into a bar populated by Linux programs, who eye it suspiciously. "I hope you don't think that 'free as in beer' applies to you?" asks the bartender sarcastically. "It's cool," says the Windows program; I can work with WINE."

An iPod Classic walks into a bar and chats up an iPod Touch. The pair seem to be hitting it off well when the iPod Classic pays its bill, puts on its coat and starts to walk out. As it passes the bartender, the barkeep whispers, "What went wrong? You two looked like you were getting on." The iPod shrugs and says, "Eh, I guess we just didn't click, you know?"

A group of .ADD, .DEV and .DRV files walks into a bar. All, save for one, order drinks. As he hands the non-drinking file its complimentary Coke, the bartender winks and says, "You must be the designated driver."

Tux the Penguin walks into a bar with an egg tucked under his arm. "You sure you wanna bring your kid in here?" asks the bartender worriedly, "This place gets pretty rough." "Hey, it's my kid we're talking about," protests Tux. "Of course it's got a secure shell."

A USB drive walks into a bar. "What can I set'cha up with?" asks the barkeep. "We got beer, wine and mixers." "Not quite my style," says the USB drive, "but I wouldn't say 'no' if you have a port available."

A touchscreen walks into a bar, counts the money in its wallet, and asks "How much for taps?"

A Windows installer walks into a bar and proceeds to imbibe heavily. At closing time, the barkeep pessimistically assesses the installer's ability to drive. "No worries," the installer reassures him, "I was just about to call a .CAB anyway."

A Windows registry and a group of Windows programs walk into a bar. The programs become progressively inebriated, while the registry stays stone-cold sober. "They're gonna make it home okay, right?" the bartender sternly asks the registry. "Absolutely," replies the registry, "I've got all their keys."

A group of *nix command-prompts walks into a bar and outstays all the other patrons. Finally, the weary bartender announces, "Alright, folks: You don't have to 'cd /home' but you can't stay here."
