A truck driver hauling a tractor-trailer load of computers stops
for a beer. As he approaches the bar he sees a big sign on the door
saying
"NERDS NOT ALLOWED--ENTER AT YOUR OWN RISK!"
He goes in and sits down. The bartender comes over to him, sniffs,
says he smells kind of nerdy, asks him what he does for a
living.
The truck driver says he drives a truck, and the smell is just from
the computers he is hauling.
The bartender says OK, truck drivers are not nerds, and serves him
a beer. As he is sipping his beer, a skinny guy walks in with tape
around his glasses, a pocket protector with twelve kinds of pens
and pencils, and a belt at least a foot too long.
The bartender, without saying a word, pulls out a shotgun and blows
the guy away.
The truck driver asks him why he did that. The bartender said not
to worry, the nerds are over-populating the Silicon Valley, and are
in season now. You don't even need a license, he said.
So the truck driver finishes his beer, gets back in his truck, and
heads back onto the freeway. Suddenly he veers to avoid an
accident, and the load shifts. The back door breaks open and
computers spill out all over the freeway.
He jumps out and sees a crowd already forming, grabbing up the
computers. They are all engineers, accountants and programmers
wearing the nerdiest clothes he has ever seen. He can't let them
steal his whole load. So remembering what happened in the bar, he
pulls out his gun and starts blasting away, felling several of them
instantly.
A highway patrol officer comes zooming up and jumps out of the car
screaming at him to stop.
The truck driver said, "What's wrong? I thought nerds were in
season."
"Well, sure." said the patrolman, "But you can't bait 'em.
