I'm looking for some funny jokes and puns that occur in computer languages. I'll post an oldie to kick things off... What are some others?
update: Especially looking for code-related jokes... the ones that only make sense to programmers reading code.
This one is old but good imo:
Select * From Users Where Clue > 0;
>0 Rows Returned
In 8080 assembler, the ORG directive specified the start address (origin) of the program. Typically that would be at address 100 hex, therefore:
ASM EQ $100
ORG ASM
One error code for Java in hex is 0xBADCAFE
And additional list: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hexspeak
Other funny alphanumeric numbers can be found at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_number_(programming)#Magic_GUIDs
Is this a hashtable? Because I see me looking you up in constant time
Here's a good one:
Why can't programmers tell the difference between Christmas and Halloween...
Because 31 in octal equals 25 in decimal, i.e. OCT 31 == DEC 25
I recall a determined C programmer who would go to great lengths, it seemed, to include comical lines in his source code. For example:
#define FALSE 0
#define OFTHEJEDI -1
int foo() {
if (FALSE) {
return OFTHEJEDI; /* Ha! */
}
}
It was probably funny in 1983.
My favorite programming pun is actually in Swedish and it can't really be translated so this'll be a special for all Swedish speaking people in here:
Två programmerare och en stack
Raymond Chen on .NET Rocks: "You manage your own code!" in a thick bronx? accent.
Q. Why didn't the Romans make good C programmers?
A. Because they had no way to return 0.
Another classic is the worlds last mistake:
/* world's last mistake in C */
if(code = CODE_RED) {
launch_missiles();
}
And:
XML is like violence - if it doesn't solve your problems, you are not using enough of it.
There are 10 types of programmer: those who understand binary and those who don't
I can't believe I actually kept attributions for this one:
p = "you are nasty" q = "my first name is Janet"
r = "my first name is baby" s = "My name is Miss Jackson"
(!r -> q) & (p -> s) - Braverman's Third Lemma
!r & (!p -> q) & (p -> s) - Libor's Corrolary

An old favourite of mine - Technical manuals in the spirit of Dr. Seuss:
If a packet hits a pocket on a socket on a port,
And the bus is interrupted as a very last resort,
And the address of the memory makes your floppy disk abort,
Then the socket packet pocket has an error to report!
If your cursor finds a menu item followed by a dash,
And the double-clicking icon puts your window in the trash,
And your data is corrupted 'cause the index doesn't hash,
Then your situation's hopeless, and your system's gonna crash!
You can't say this? What a shame sir!
We'll find you another game sir.
If the label on the cable on the table at your house,
Says the network is connected to the button on your mouse,
But your packets want to tunnel on another protocol,
That's repeatedly rejected by the printer down the hall,
And your screen is all distorted by the side effects of gauss
So your icons in the window are as wavy as a souse,
Then you may as well reboot and go out with a bang,
'Cause as sure as I'm a poet, the sucker's gonna hang!
When the copy of your floppy's getting sloppy on the disk,
And the microcode instructions cause unnecessary RISC,
Then you have to flash your memory and you'll want to RAM your ROM.
Quickly turn off the computer and be sure to tell your mom!
A man is smoking a cigarette and blowing smoke rings into the air. His girlfriend becomes irritated with the smoke and says, "Can't you see the warning on the cigarette pack? Smoking is hazardous to your health!"
To which the man replies, "I am a programmer. We don't worry about warnings; we only worry about errors."
An old one...
Q: How many Intel processors does it take to do a logical shift right?
A: 33. 32 to hold down the bits, and 1 to push the register.
From limerickdb.com:
A programmer started to cuss
Because getting to sleep was a fuss
As he lay there in bed
Looping 'round in his head
Was: while(!asleep()) sheep++;
Don't know if this a pun but I read this in someone's signature once:
"At the beginning of my career I used to write software that just worked. Now, I write software that doesn't fail."
This is one of my favorite puns. ( copied from here )
It is a reference to code blocks, methods, and closures, in Perl 6
As soon as she walked through my door I knew her type: she was an argument waiting to happen. I wondered if the argument was required... or merely optional? Guess I'd know the parameters soon enough.
"I'm Star At Data", she offered. *( @Data )
She made it sound like a pass. But was the pass by name? Or by position?
"I think someone's trying to execute me. Some caller."
"Okay, I'll see what I can find out. Meanwhile, we're gonna have to limit the scope of your accessibility."
"I'd prefer not to be bound like that," she replied.
"I see you know my methods," I shot back.
She just stared at me, like I was a block. Suddenly I wasn't surprised someone wanted to dispatch her.
"I'll return later," she purred. "Meanwhile, I'm counting on you to give me some closure".
It was gonna be another routine investigation.
- Dashiell Hammett, "The Maltese Camel"
That Damian Conway sure is a character.
How to keep programmer busy?
For the series on the "x types of people", with a little recursion in it:
There are only 2 types of people in the world:
those who believe that there are only 2 types of people
in the world, and those who don't.
My favorite:
Two strings walk into a bar. The first one says:
Hello, I'd like some Vodka andytewsr@)W$(#*$&!^Y@)^&30@#!
"You'll have to excuse my friend," the second one says, "he's not null-terminated."
Some of my favorite quotes:
It should be noted that no ethically-trained software engineer would ever consent to write a DestroyBaghdad procedure. Basic professional ethics would require him to write a DestroyCity procedure, to which Baghdad could be given as a parameter. - Nathanial Borenstein
If builders built buildings the way programmers wrote programs, then the first woodpecker that came along would destroy civilization - Gerald M Weinberg ( aka Weinberg's Law )
if (computer.fail == true) {
background.setColor(blue);
user.frown();
sys.shutdown();
user.scream("OH, F**K YOU");

I like the haiku error messages.
A file that big?
It might be very useful.
But now it is gone.
Yesterday it worked
Today it is not working
Windows is like that
Stay the patient course
Of little worth is your ire
The network is down

On two occasions I have been asked [by members of Parliament!], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able rightly to apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question.

Adam and Eve were walking through the forest when they came across some snakes with chain saws cutting down trees and making rustic furniture. Adam asked, "what are you doing?"
One of the snakes hissed, "God told us to go forth and multiply ... but we're just adders, we can't multiply without log tables"

Did you hear about the computer programmer found unconscious in the shower? He was shampooing his hair, and made the mistake of reading the instructions on the bottle: Lather, Rinse, Repeat.
There's an old Russian joke right on the topic.
The teacher asks a 1st-grader's father:
-- What kind of an education are you providing your child with? When I asked him what you did for a living, he replied that his father was a pianist in a whorehouse!
-- Well, I'm a UNIX system expert. Go explain it to him.

I heard this one in a podcast from the OOPSLA 07 conference. I'm paraphrasing and quoting from memory so bear with me...
A programmer got a peek at the source code for the universe (obviously written in LISP) and said... My God! It's full of CARs!
A presenter and view are out clubbing. The view has had way too much to drink and the presenter leans over a model "Can you give me a lift home, I just can't depend on this guy"

A novice was trying to fix a broken Lisp machine by turning the power off and on.
Knight, seeing what the student was doing, spoke sternly: "You cannot fix a machine by just power-cycling it with no understanding of what is going wrong."
Knight turned the machine off and on.
The machine worked.

One day a student came to Moon and said: "I understand how to make a better garbage collector. We must keep a reference count of the pointers to each cons."

Not precisely a code joke, but still one of my favorites, and definitely is all too applicable to coding:
In theory there is no difference between theory and practice. In practice there is.
Something I cooked up on the Joel on Software boards a few years ago:

Another koan:
The venerable master Qc Na was walking with his student, Anton. Hoping to prompt the master into a discussion, Anton said "Master, I have heard that objects are a very good thing - is this true?" Qc Na looked pityingly at his student and replied, "Foolish pupil - objects are merely a poor man's closures." Chastised, Anton took his leave from his master and returned to his cell, intent on studying closures. He carefully read the entire "Lambda: The Ultimate..." series of papers and its cousins, and implemented a small Scheme interpreter with a closure-based object system. He learned much, and looked forward to informing his master of his progress.
On his next walk with Qc Na, Anton attempted to impress his master by saying "Master, I have diligently studied the matter, and now understand that objects are truly a poor man's closures." Qc Na responded by hitting Anton with his stick, saying "When will you learn? Closures are a poor man's object." At that moment, Anton became enlightened.

The 12 most common statements you are likely to hear from a Klingon programmer
- “Specifications are for the weak and timid!”
- “This machine is a piece of GAGH! I need dual Pentium processors if I am to do battle with this code!”
- “You cannot begin to appreciate Dilbert unless you have read it in the original Klingon!”
- “Indentation?! I will show you how to indent when I indent your skull!”
- “What is this talk of ‘release’? Klingons do not ‘release’ software. We uncage our software, letting it leave a bloody trail of designers and quality assurance people in its wake.”
- “Klingon function calls do not have ‘parameters.’ They have ‘arguments’ . . . and they ALWAYS WIN THEM!”
- “Debugging? Klingons do not debug. Our software does not coddle the weak.”
- “I have challenged the entire quality assurance team to a Bat-Leth contest. They will not trouble us again.”
- “A TRUE Klingon programmer does not comment his code!”
- “By filing this PTR you have challenged the honor of my family. Prepare to die!”
- “You question the worthiness of my code? I should kill you where you stand!”
- “Our users will know fear and cower before our software! Ship it! Ship it and let them flee like the dogs they are!”

The set of hashing algorithm identifier values (used as a parameter to the ztv2ghashs hashing function)..
0xf00d means: Use MD4
0xdead means: Use SHA1
0xbeaf means: Use MD5
Some programmer at Oracle has a (schoolboy;-) sense of humour!
One of my favorites is "FREE THE MALLOCS!"
Trying to explain your activism to non-programmer friends doesn't work very well though.
I don't write bugs, I write typos that are syntactically correct.

Jesus and the devil are in a programming contest. As the hours pass by, they both work furiously and there is no clear front runner.
Then, just as time is almost up, there's a power failure that causes both machines to reboot. The devil is furious, shouting and cursing, and works quickly to finish the contest. Jesus calmly waits for his machine to come back up, and works quietly until the end of the contest.
When time is up, Jesus is declared the winner. The devil asks the judges, "How did he win?!!?" They reply, "Jesus saves."

Attributed to Dr. Niklaus Wirth when asked about the pronunciation of his name:
"Whereas Europeans generally pronounce my name the right way ('Nick-louse Veert'), Americans invariably mangle it into 'Nickel's Worth.' This is to say that Europeans call me by name, but Americans call me by value."
When we had an "out of order" sign on our office restroom, we added a line "please redirect your output to /dev/null"

How do OOP programmers make their living? Inheritance.
A programmer's wife one day asked her husband: Can you go to the shop and buy a loaf of bread and if they have eggs, buy six. The programmer dutifilly goes to shop and returns with 7 loaves of bread.
favorite is....
class Lady { void mind; short skirt; }
class MarriedWomen { double weight; }
Maybe the funniest programming-related joke i've ever heard. It begins like this:
Dear Tech Support Team:
Last year I upgraded from Girlfriend 5.0 to Wife 1.0.
I soon noticed that the new program began unexpected child-processes that took up a lot of space and valuable resources.
In addition, Wife 1.0 installed itself into all other programs and now monitors all other system activities.
Applications such as BachelorNights 10.3, Cricket 5.0, BeerWithBuddies 7.5, and Outings 3.6 no longer runs, crashing the system whenever selected. I can't seem to keep Wife 1.0 in the background while attempting to run my favorite applications.
I'm thinking about going back to Girlfriend 5.0, but the 'uninstall' doesn't work on Wife 1.0.
Please help!
Thanks,
Here's the link w/ the rest.

It is not just for programmers but I really like this one I saw once in a T-shirt:
"There Are Only 10 Types of People in the World: Those Who Understand Binary, and Those Who Don't."
My professor told me copy and paste coding is bad, so I typed it all from scratch...
Some of you remember James Rumbaugh, one of the UML proponents. Here's an example of inheritance:
