"Hi, I'd like to hear a TCP joke." "Hello, would you like to hear a TCP joke?" "Yes, I'd like to hear a TCP joke." "OK, I'll tell you a TCP joke." "Ok, I will hear a TCP joke." "Are you ready to hear a TCP joke?" "Yes, I am ready to hear a TCP joke." "Ok, I am about to send the TCP joke. It will last 10 seconds, it has two characters, it does not have a setting, it ends with a punchline." "Ok, I am ready to get your TCP joke that will last 10 seconds, has two characters, does not have an explicit setting, and ends with a punchline." "I'm sorry, your connection has timed out. Hello, would you like to hear a TCP joke?" | |||||||||||||||||||||||

I was asked in an interview to explain the difference between TCP and UDP. I knew about enough to fill an index card: enough for an adequate interview answer, but not enough that I would relish getting follow-up questions. While deciding what to say I started with this joke. The interviewer laughed and moved on to the next question. I got the job offer. | |||||||||||||||||||||||

I used this during a "geeky jokes" icebreaker at work. No one got the joke so I just sounded condescending. Lesson learned. | |||||||||||||||||||||||

I think I prefer the punchline “I don’t expect you to get it, and it’s not a big deal if you don’t, happens to everyone” | |||||||||||||||||||||||
