"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?"

This one is the only one among the 10+ I browsed through on the website and read in the comments that actually made me laugh. Good one! Thanks for sharing. :)

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 can tell you a DNS joke, but be aware that it might take 8 hours for everyone to get it.

packets udp bar walk a into

ok this might sound crazy, but at first I completely missed the joke because it automatically rearranged the entire sentance into udp packets walked into a bar. I wonder how that works psychologically.

Failed to shout it loud enough to make an echo. It TTL'ed 3 hops away.

This looks like a tumblr site, which means you can get all the content on one page instead of having to page through them one at a time:

I'd share my joke about HTTP here, but it makes me feel insecure.

There are two kinds of people when it comes to UDP.

lucb1e 6 hours ago | parent [-]

Which are those?

Btw, it reminds me of "10 kinds of people, those who understand binary and those who don't"

fragmede an hour ago | parent | next [-]

There are 11 kinds of people that understand binary. Those that understand binary, those that don't understand binary, and those that understand grey code.

What did one broke programmer say to the other?

"Hey, buddy, can you paradigm?"

irishcoffee 7 hours ago | parent | prev | next [-]

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”
