A TCP packet walks into a bar, and says to the barman "Hello, I'd like a beer." The barman replies "Hello, you'd like a beer?" "Yes," replies the TCP packet, "I'd like a beer." I'd tell you my UDP packet joke, but I'm not sure you'd get it.
This one I sing to my kids: "Old MacDonald had a farm, E-I-E-I-O And on that farm he had an infinite recursion E-I-E-I-O With an Old MacDonald had a farm, E-I-E-I-O And on that farm he had an infinite recursion ..."
an infinite loop

an infinite loop
I think he went with recursion so that it would eventually terminate, when he runs out of memory.
That is, the cow says "Moo", the sheep says "baa", and the infinite recursion says "That is, the cow says "Moo", the sheep says "baa", and the infinite recursion says "That is, the cow says "Moo", the sheep says "baa", and the infinite recursion says "That is, the cow says "Moo", the sheep says "baa", and the infinite recursion says "That is, the cow says "Moo", the sheep says "baa", and the infinite recursion says StackOverflowException was unhandled
An unhandled exception of type
'System.StackOverflowException' occurred in Pxtl.dll
Make sure you do not have an infinite loop or infinite recursion.
I often use "There are 2 hard problems in computer science: cache invalidation, naming things, and off-by-1 errors."
I prefer "There are 3 hard problems in computer science: cache invalidation and naming things."

My favorite on this vein is: "There are 10 types of people in the world: those who understand binary and those who don't."
A Chinese spy manages to steal the last 50MB of the Lisp program governing U.S. missile launches. Fortunately, it was all closing parentheses.

At some point the car malfunctions and comes to a stop. The following discussion ensues: GE guy: "It's because there are some crossed wires in the electrical system that regulates the engine." DuPont Guy: "Don't be ridiculous, this is clearly caused by a wrong mix of…
An electrical engineer, a mechanical engineer and a software engineer from Microsoft are riding in a car, when they start down a steep hill. Halfway down the brakes go out and the car crashes into a tree at the bottom of the hill. Luckily, no one is hurt, so they get out and start analyzing what happened.
Electrical engineer: Clearly a short-circuit in the ABS system caused the brakes to go out.
Mechanical engineer: No, no, it was an over-pressure situation that caused a brake line to rupture.
They both turn to the Microsoft guy and ask him for his opinion:
Microsoft guy: I don't know, but let's push the car back to the top of the hill and try it again.
