Tech Joke: Mountain Road
A software engineer, a hardware engineer and their manager are in the car going to an industry convention in their rental car. To get there they must navigate a treacherous mountain road. While they are coming down a steep and narrow incline the car’s brakes go out. The car starts going way too fast and they all fear this will be the end of their lives. But somehow the driver manages to not careen off the road and they glide to a stop once safely down the hill.
They all get out and catch their breath.
The manager is first to speak, “Well, let me get my cell phone so I can call the tow truck to take it to the garage.”
The hardware engineer says, “No, no, no, just pop the hood and we can fix the problem ourselves.”
The software engineer says, “Guys, just wait. Before we do anything we should take it up the hill and see if it happens again!”
