A MISinformation reader sent the following gem, with the comment "My boss actually sent this to me the *day* of my review. Coincidence?"


THE FOLLOWING IS AN APPRAISAL WRITTEN BY A PROJECT LEADER AND SENT TO MANAGEMENT:

Joe Programmer, my assistant programmer, can always be found
hard at work in his cubicle. Bob works independently, without
wasting company time talking to colleagues. Bob never
thinks twice about assisting fellow employees, and he always
finishes given assignments on time. Often Bob takes extended
measures to complete his work, sometimes skipping coffee
breaks. Bob is a dedicated individual who has absolutely no
vanity in spite of his high accomplishments and profound
knowledge in his field. I firmly believe that Bob can be
classed as a high-caliber employee, the type which cannot be
dispensed with. Consequently, I duly recommend that Bob be
promoted to executive management, and a proposal will be
sent away as soon as possible.

Project Leader


THE FOLLOWING MEMO WAS SENT IMMEDIATELY AFTER:

That stupid idiot was reading over my shoulder when I wrote the report sent to you earlier today. Kindly read every second line (i.e..  1, 3, 5, 7, 9, ..) for my true assessment of him.
Regards,
Derek Crabb
Project Leader

We're compiling a list of "antique humor," jokes which were funny twenty years ago, but today are anachronisms. Here are two we laughed at back before ISPs, when our computers communicated via BBSs:
1) cchheecckk  yyoouurr  dduupplleexx sswwiittcchh..
2) Backups? We don't *NEED* no steenking baX%^~,VbKx NO CARRIER

Q: Why do programmers always get Christmas and Halloween mixed up?
A: Because DEC 25 = OCT 31

Q: How do you tell an extroverted programmer?
A: He looks at *your* shoes when he talks to you.

Q: How many software engineers does it take to change a light bulb?
A: Two. One always leaves in the middle of the project.

Think electronic publishing will replace paper? In the words of Effram Zumatto,
"The dream of a paperless society can never be realized
until there is a way to do the New York Times crossword puzzle in the men's room."
