Stumper jokes
Diane AKA Traska:
This thread's for jokes that seem so obscure that you're not sure anyone's going to get them. I'll start:
A man walks up to a computer programmer on the street. The man says to the programmer "I haven't had a bite in three days." So the programmer gives the man a dollar.
(Anyone want to guess why? :D)

What do you get when you cross a mountain climber with a mosquito?
Nothing.
You can't cross a scaler with a vector.

See, I actually know what a scal(a)r and a vector are, I know why you can't cross them. And I *still* don't get this joke because I don't know how you get from mosquito to vector. Is this a regional thing?

In biology, a vector is an organism that transmits a pathogen to the host (aka, infects something with disease). Mosquitos are vectors to a number of lovely disease, such as malaria, dengue, etc.

Because a byte is 8 bits, and there are 8 bits to a dollar!
