"Nerdbait"
A 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, and 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 sipping his beer, a skinny guy walks in with tape around his
glasses, a pocket protector with twelve kinds of pens and
pencils stashed in his pocket protector, 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 says, "What's
wrong? I thought nerds were in season."
"Well, sure," said the patrolman, "But you can't bait 'em."
