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, "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 am hauling." The bartender
says, "Okay, 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 said, totally shocked, "Why did
you do that?" The
bartender said, "Not to worry, the nerds are
overpopulating Silicon
Valley and are 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
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."
