Nerd Alert!

>>

>>     This truck driver hauling a tractor-trailer load of computers stops

>>for a beer. As he approaches the bar he sees a big sign on the door

>>saying "NERDS NOT ALLOWED-ENTER AT YOUR OWN RISK!"

>>He goes in and sits down.  The bartender comes over to him, sniffs,

>>says he smells kind of nerdy, asks him what he does for a living.   The

>>truck driver says he drives a truck, and the smell is just from the

>>computers he is hauling. The bartender says OK, truck drivers are not  

>>nerds, and serves him a beer.   As he is drinking his beer, a skinny guy 

>>walks in with tape around  his  glasses, a pocket protector with twelve kinds

>>of pens and pencils,  and  a belt at least a foot too long.  The bartender,

>>without saying a  word, pulls out a shotgun and blows the guy away.

>

>>The truck driver asks him why he did that.  The bartender said not to worry,

>>the nerds are overpopulating the Silicon Valley, and are in season now. You 

>>don't even need a license, he said.

>>So the truck driver finishes his beer, gets back in his truck, and heads

>>back onto the freeway.  Suddenly he veers to avoid an accident, and the

>>load shifts.  The back door breaks open and computers spill out all over

>>the freeway.  He jumps out and sees a crowd already forming, grabbing

>>up the computers.  They are all engineers, accountants and programmers

>>wearing the nerdiest clothes he has ever  seen.  He can't let them steal 

>>his whole load. So remembering what happened in the bar, he pulls out 

>>his gun and starts blasting away, felling several of them instantly.  A 

>>highway patrol officer comes zooming up and jumps out of the car screaming 

>>at  him to stop.  The truck driver said  "What's wrong? I thought nerds  were

>>in

>>season."  "Well, sure," said the patrolman, "But you can't bait 'em.
