A physicist, chemist, and programmer were going to lunch together.

When they got in the car though, it wouldn’t start.

“Maybe it’s out of gas?” said the Chemist.

“Maybe it’s a problem with the engine?” said the Physicist.

“Maybe if we all just get out of the car and get back in.”

These are both old, like me:

There's a new object-oriented version of COBOL. It's called "Add 1 to COBOL".

(Carbon dates back to the ancient time when C++ was basically object oriented C, so like, 1988 or so.)

Here's one for the increasingly elderly people who prefer C over C++. "Whoever invented C++ doesn't know the difference between increment and excrement." (Best said in a cranky old man voice at an appropriate moment whilst battling a bug in some big C++ source base. Yeah, I know who Bjarne Stroustrup is. It's funnier with "whoever".)

A QA engineer walks into a bar and orders a beer. She orders 2 beers. She orders 0 beers. She orders -1 beers. She orders a lizard. She orders a NULLPTR. She tries to leave without paying. Satisfied, she declares the bar ready for business. The first customer comes in an orders a beer. They finish their drink, and then ask where the bathroom is. The bar explodes.

Not a programmer, but this is good.

If you mean you're not a programmer, rad, good compliment. If you mean QA engineers aren't programmers... wtaf?

Yes, I am ready to hear a TCP joke. OK, I'm about to send the TCP joke. It will last 10 seconds, it has two characters, it does not have a setting, it ends with a punchline. OK, I'm ready to hear the TCP joke that will last 10 seconds, has two characters…

"HEY, DOES ANYBODY KNOW A GOOD ARP JOKE?"
