Having been in the IT/Computer/CyberSecurity world for a very long time, we all here the stories. Funny little quipt's or short stories that are just too funny not to pass along.
That's where the roots of this website come in. There are tons of stories and laughable incidences that just need to be shared.
Got one you want added here? Email me and I will post it, with full cudos to you.
A mechanical engineer, an electrical engineer, and an IT guy are driving back from dinner. They drive up the hill and then down the hill.
At the base of the hill the car dies. They all get out of the car and the mechanical engineer says, "I got this, it's just something up with the engine".
The electrical engineer says, "Not quite, this is definitely a problem in the wiring causing a misfire, I got this."
While they bicker the IT guy speaks up, "lets close all of the windows, open them again, then try starting the engine?"
A man is flying in a hot air balloon and realizes he is lost. He reduces height and spots a man down below. He lowers the balloon further and shouts,
"Excuse me, can you tell me where I am?
"The man below says, "Yes, you're in a hot air balloon, hovering 30 feet above this field. "
"You must be in IT", says the balloonist.
"I am", replies the man. "How did you know?"
"Well", says the balloonist, "everything you have told me is technically correct, but it's of no use to anyone!"
The man below says, "You must be in management."
"I am", replies the balloonist, "but how did you know?"
"Well", says the man, "you don't know where you are, or where you're going, but you expect me to be able to help. You're in the same position you were before we met, but now it's my fault."
