Hi All,
Read the below mentioned conversation of s/w engineer and programmer to
understand the intelligence level of our community (SOFTWARE ENGINEERS).
A programmer and a software engineer are sitting next to each other on a
long flight from San Jose to Bangalore. The programmer leans over to the
software engineer and asks if he would like to play a fun game. The
software engineer just wants to take a nap, so he politely declines and
rolls over to the window to catch a few winks.
The programmer persists and explains that the game is real easy and
great fun. He explains "I ask you a question, and if you don't know the
answer, you pay me $10. Then you ask me a question, and if I don't know
the answer, I'll pay you $10.". Again, the software engineer politely
declines and tries to get to sleep. The programmer, now some what
agitated, says, "OK, if you don't know the answer you pay me $10, and if
I don't know the answer, I'll pay you $100!" This catches the software
engineer's attention, and he sees no end to this torment unless he
plays, so he agrees to the game. The programmer asks the first question.
"What's the distance from the earth to the moon?" The software engineer
doesn't say a word, but reaches into his wallet, pulls out a ten dollar
bill and hands it to the programmer. Now, it's the software engineer's
turn. He asks the programmer "What goes up a hill with three legs, and
comes down on four?"
The programmer looks up at him with a puzzled look. He takes out his
laptop computer and searches all of his references. He taps into the air
phone with his modem and searches the net and the Library of Congress.
Frustrated, he sends e-mail to his co-workers all to no avail. After
about an hour, he wakes the software engineer and hands him $100. The
software engineer politely takes the $100 and turns away to try to get
back to sleep. The programmer, more than a little miffed, shakes the
software engineer and asks "Well, so what's the answer?"
Without a word, the software engineer reaches into his wallet, hands the
programmer $10, and turns away to get back to sleep.
