IT personnel

Comprehending the IT guy - Take One:
Two IT guys were walking across the park when one said, "Where did you get such a great bike?"

The second IT guy replied, "Well, I was walking along yesterday minding my own business when a beautiful woman rode up on this bike. She threw the bike to the ground, took off all her clothes and said, 'Take what you want.'

The second IT guy nodded approvingly, "Good choice. The clothes probably wouldn't have fit."

Comprehending the IT guy - Take Two:
An architect, an artist and an IT guy were discussing whether it was better to have a wife or a mistress.

The architect said he enjoyed time with his wife, building a solid foundation for an enduring relationship.

The artist said he enjoyed time with his mistress, because of the passion and mystery he found there.

The IT guy said, "I like both."

The artist said "BOTH?"

The IT guy replied "Yeah. If you have a wife and a mistress, they will each assume you are spending time with the other woman, and you can go to the office and get some work done."

Comprehending the IT guy - Take Three:
To the optimist, the glass is half full. To the pessimist, the glass is half empty. To the IT guy, the glass is twice as big as it needs to be.

nah, he would ask why you did not future proof yourself and point out that with the price of glass these days you could have easily got a jug or a large pitcher that could easily cope with your fluid requirements for ages.

either that or he woudl suggest that you got an identical glass and froze it as a backup should you spil the first one

Not true as an IT guy/geek would blink, stare like a rabbit cought in some headlights go "er" and try to remember how to talk to a real person in the flesh
