YAJT : Software joke.

[maximus maximus]

20 executives board an airplane and are told that the flight that they are about to take is the first-ever to feature pilotless technology: It is an uncrewed aircraft.

Each one of the CEOs is then told, privately, that their company's software is running the aircraft's automatic pilot system. 19 of the CEOs promptly leave the aircraft, each offering a different type of excuse.

One CEO alone remains on board the jet, seeming very calm indeed.Asked why he is so confident in this first uncrewed flight, he replies: "If it's the same software that runs my company's IT systems, this plane won't even take off."




















That guy is none other than Bill Gates.

If it was uncrewed, then who asked him the question?

my first ever declaration of oldsmoboats law.

 

[ViviTheMage]

you added the last part, i can tell

 

[mugs]

The Bill Gates part was a lame addition, but otherwise it was a 6.3/10 joke.

(I actually thought it was pretty funny, but it loses points for being a tired cliche)

A small helicopter gets caught in thick fog near a city. Having no idea of his heading and fearing for his life, the pilot slowly moves up to the nearest skyscraper and screams out the window over the noise of the engine

WHERE AM I!!!...

An office worker opens the window and shouts back

YOU'RE IN A HELICOPTER!

The pilot smiles and flies off. Because the answer was technically correct, but completely useless, he knew this must be the Microsoft building.

Damn... If the punch line was changed to "Ha, my company makes treadmill, so I could careless who makes the software..." then it would have been funnier.

 

[tfinch2]

LOL, punchline should have been my company wrote the software that is powering this conveyor belt underneath us or the software throws fatal exception 0.99999999 != 1

Was 6/10 but deducted 3 points for trying to make it a MS joke @ the end.

3/10
