A Call For Humor!

Aside from reverting changes, the best trick is to fix a bug and say you can’t replicate it. Works only in very small shops.

But I was doing C programming on 8088 machines in the early 80s.

The next-best resolution I admired in one very old defect-tracking system, long ago, was the passive-aggressive "No longer repro". It was in use in a very large shop back in the ’90s.

Why do cows have hooves instead of feet?

Because they.... lactose.....

On a very windy day, a rabbi was walking along when a strong gust of wind blew his hat off his head. The rabbi ran after the hat, but the wind was too strong. It kept blowing his hat farther and farther away.

A non-Jewish young man, seeing what had happened, ran after the hat, caught it and gave it back to the rabbi. The rabbi was so grateful that he gave the young man 20 dollars and blessed him.

The young man was excited and decided to go the race track and with the rabbi's blessing, he decided to check the program and place the entire 20 dollars on a horse. After the races he went home and recounted his very exciting day to his wife.

"I arrived at the fifth race and looked at the program. I saw this horse named 'Top Hat' was running. The odds on this horse were 100 to 1 but since I received the rabbi's blessing I bet the entire 20 dollars on 'Top Hat' and guess what? He won!"

"In the next race, there was a horse named 'Stetson' at 30 to 1 so I bet the entire amount of my winnings on him, and guess what ... I won again!"

"So did you bring the money home?" asked his wife.

"No," said the son, "I lost it all on the last race. There was a horse named 'Chateau' that was a heavy favourite so I bet everything on him, and since 'Chateau' means 'hat' in French I figured he was a sure thing."

"You fool!" said the wife. "Hat in French is 'chapeau' not 'chateau!'" Exasperated, his wifer then asked, "So who won the race?"

"A real long shot," said the man. "Some Japanese horse named 'Yarmulke'!"

To be clear, I love bad jokes. For example,

but cows lactose?!?! Gotta draw the line somewhere, right?

One would think a programmer associated with McAfee knows the inherent difference between radio buttons and check boxes.

One might, but only if one had never experienced their software.

To be fair I suspect it's more like the Sonos situation where the engineers were telling management in no uncertain terms it wasn't ready for release, but they did it anyway.
