I like a good joke as much as the next person. I especially like humorous jokes tied to technology and the Information Age.  It is hard to find good IT jokes, but I try.  Saturdays, I try very hard to honor the weekend by making my posts have a humorous bent. 

IT_Joke_BannerThis week’s joke is a gift from dotnetspider.com.  It was submitted by Praveen. I hope that you both enjoy it and go to their site to see all the other funny IT jokes that they have.

I am sure that every Information Technology Professional can relate to the challenges of interfacing with their marketing, leadership, and public affairs types.  Maybe, you will appreciate their humor.
