So anyway...

These two programmer-guys are idling chatting as they walked their bikes across the street toward the park. One looked to the other’s bike with approval.

"Where’d you get the nifty Raleigh?” he asked.

The other programmer shook his head. "I guess sometimes things just happen.”

The first was now perplexed. “You mean -- without reason?”

“Well, perhaps there are certain undefinable reasons...”

“What happened?”

“Yesterday I was walking here,” he explained, as the two mounted their bikes and headed for the trail. “I was just minding my own business, when a beautiful woman rode up to me on this very bike. She got off, threw the bike down, took off all her clothes and threw them down and looked at me”

“Yeah?”

“She said, ‘Take what you want.’”

“Amazing,” the other remarked. “Good choice, though. The clothes probably wouldn’t have fit.”

An architect, an artist and a programmer were discussing whether it was
better to have a wife or a mistress.

“There is nothing sounder for a relationship that the solid foundation of marriage,” the architect.

The artist was already shaking his head. “A mistress, my friend,” he said. “There is no joy to compare with the enchantment, the passion and the mystery.”

“I like both,” the programmer said.

“Both?!” exclaimed the artist.

“Tou’re joking!” challenged the architect.

“No, not at all,” he proceeded to explain. “If you have a wife and a mistress, they will each assume you are spending time with the other woman.” He looked at his friends, and their baffled expressions were an obvious cry for further input. “You see, then you can go to the office and finally get some real work done.

A programmer was crossing a street, when an amazing thing happened. A frog called out to him.

“If you kiss me,” claimed the frog, “I'll turn into a beautiful princess.”

Hearing this, the programmer smiled at the frog, picked it up and placed it in his jacket pocket.

Thinking he hadn’t been properly heard, the frog spoke up again. "If you kiss me and turn me back into a beautiful princess, I will
stay with you for one week.”

The programmer took the frog from his pocket, smiled at it, and returned it to his pocket.

“HEY!” the frog out. "If you kiss me and turn back into princess, I'll stay with you for a whole week and do anything you want of me.”

Again, the programmer took the frog out, smiled at it, and returned it to his pocket.

“What is the matter with you?!” the frog demanded. “Can you hear me? I've told you I'm a beautiful princess and that I'll stay with you for a week. I’ll do anything -- anything -- you want. Why don't you kiss me?”

The programmer took the frog from his pocket and smiled at it. “I’m an information tech,” he explained. “I really don't have time for a girlfriend, but a talking frog -- now
that's cool.”
