Open season
Open Season
This 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,
"You smell kind of nerdy. What do you do for a
living?"
The truck driver says, "I drive a truck, and the smell
is just from the computers I am hauling."
The bartender says, "Okay, 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
said, totally shocked, "Why did you do that?"
The bartender said, "Not to worry, the nerds are
overpopulating Silicon Valley and are in season now.
You don't even need a license."
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"
