“You must work in Information Technology,” says the balloonist.
“I do” 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 replies, “You must work in management.”
“I do,” replies the balloonist, “But how’d you know?”

They were sure they were all going to die, when suddenly they spotted an escape lane. They pulled into the escape lane, and came safely to a halt.
The physicist said “We need to model the friction in the brake pads and the resultant temperature rise, see if we can work out why they failed”.
The engineer said “I think I’ve got a few spanners in the back. I’ll take a look and see if I can work out what’s wrong”.
The Tester said “Why don’t see if it’s reproducible?”

A computer science student is studying under a tree and another pulls up on a flashy new bike. The first student asks, “Where’d you get that?”

One afternoon, a breathless spy returned to headquarters with a page of paper in his hand, excitedly shouting to his superior, “Comrade! Comrade! The Americans are using Lisp to write their rocket launching software!”
The commander was skeptical. “How do you know?”
“I broke into their research lab and stole a page from the teletype machine! It’s not the whole program, but it’s the final page and contains the concluding logic of the program! See for yourself!!!!”
The commander looked at the page and smiled:
