Asking for a Raise

Title: Asking for a Raise

General Information about Item:

  • Joke
  • English
  • United States

Informant Data:

  • Jiachen Jiang is a ’20 at Dartmouth College studying Computer Science.

Contextual Data:

  • Social Context
    • Jiachen encountered this joke on the internet, as it is one of the more popular jokes that does not require any deep understanding of computer science. This joke can be shared with anyone with the most rudimentary understanding of data structures in computer science, although experienced computer scientists would still find the joke funny.

  • Cultural Context
    • The joke depends only on knowledge of the “array,” one of the most basic computer science data structures that any student of computer science would encounter in her first introductory course. The joke plays on the pun between the word “arrays” and the phrase “a raise,” indicating that a programmer who does not “get” arrays—that is, she does not understand the function of the array or how to use them correctly—will not find a career in computer science. On the other hand, any worker who does not receive an expected pay increase might be expected to quit after some time. This joke relies on a pun basic enough that experienced and inexperienced programmers alike will be able to appreciate and share, which explains why it is one of the most popular computer science jokes we have encountered. See Use Pointers for a variation on this joke that requires a little more programming knowledge to fully understand.

Item:

Q: Why did the programmer quit his job?

A: Because he didn’t get arrays!

Transcript:

  • Stephanie: Could you state your name and background please?
  • Jiachen: Yes. My name is Jiachen Jiang, I am a ’20 and I am a Computer Science major at Dartmouth College.
  • Stephanie: Can you tell me your joke please?
  • Jiachen: Yes. So the joke starts off with why did the programmer quit his job? The answer is, because he didn’t get arrays!
  • Stephanie: Ahaha! Alright, and where did you hear this joke?
  • Jiachen: I found this joke when I was scrolling through the internet, as I often do here at this College.
  • Stephanie: Alright. And uh, lastly, why is this joke funny?
  • Jiachen: This is joke is funny to me because arrays are a type of very popular data structure within Computer Science, spelled a-r-r-a-y-s. But arrays also sounds like “a raise”, as in an increase in monetary amount earned in a job. So when the programmer didn’t get a raise, that meant that he did not understand a basic computer science… a basic computer science theory. However, that also means he didn’t get enough money in order to live a comfortable lifestyle.

Informant Data:

  • James Sylvia is a Dartmouth ’19. He majors in Government. He took both CS 1 and ENGS 20, both of which are programming courses. He is most familiar with Python and C, but also has some small experience with Matlab. He grew up in Massachusetts.

Contextual Data:

  • Social Context
    • This joke would be shared between computer scientists or others familiar with programming, or just the concept of recursion. Age should not be relevant to whether or not this joke would come up.
  • Cultural Context
    • This joke highlights the inherent paradox presented by a recursive function, a commonly used technique in programming. The recursive function depends upon itself to operate and therefore can not work unless it has already worked before. In reality this is not a paradox as typically a conditional enables the function to run the first time without calling itself. Not doing this however can create what is called an infinite loop, which is problematic. Regardless, the paradoxical nature inherent to the recursive function provides humor through its own absurdity.

Item:

To understand recursion you must first understand recursion.

Transcription:

  • Robert: Could you please give your name and background?
  • James: My name is James. I am a ’19. I am a government major and I took a both CS 1 and ENGS 20, two programming courses, at Dartmouth..
  • Robert: Could you please tell your joke?
  • James: To understand recursion, you must first understand recursion.
  • Robert: Could you please tell me where you heard this joke?
  • James: I first heard it in my CS 1 class.
  • Robert: Could you briefly explain the joke?
  • James: The basis of the joke is that a recursive function calls itself. This means it can only function correctly if the function it calls, itself, already functions correctly.

  • James Sylvia is a Dartmouth ’19. He majors in Government. He took both CS 1 and Engs 20, both of which are programming courses. He is most familiar with Python and C, but also has some small experience with Matlab. He grew up in Massachusetts.

Contextual Data:

  • Social Context
    • This joke would generally only come up in groups of people who have some understanding of programming or electronics. Since numerical systems with bases other than 10 are a basic part of understanding how computers work, it is basic enough that any introductory course in programming or electronics would be a potential place such a joke would be encountered. Additionally, this is a joke that would make more sense presented in text rather than verbally due to the importance of the ‘==’ logic operator in the joke as well as the common written shorthand for October and December being Oct and Dec.
  • Cultural Context
    • There exists a concept of a numerical base for any numerical system. Our traditional normal numerical system is the decimal system which has a base of 10. Without going into detail, the base of a numerical system is equal to the number of single digit values that exist within it. This comes up often in programing and electronics because computers operate in a binary system which has a base of 2 to reduce electronic error. This understanding is often expanded into other numerical bases to elaborate how binary works among other things. Which system is being used is often denoted by 3 letters before the number itself. For the octal and decimal systems, this notation just so happens to be the same as the shorthand of October and December respectively. Those who understand the octal system know that 31 in the octal system is  8*3+1*1=25 in the standard decimal system. Hence the terms Oct 31 and Dec 25 are equivalent values as expressed by the ‘==’. This joke therefore is a type of pun made from the dates of Christmas and Halloween when looked at from the perspective of somebody who understands numerical bases.

Item:

Q: Why do programmers mix up Halloween and Christmas?

A: Because Oct 31 == Dec 25.

Transcript:

  • Robert: Could you please tell your joke?
  • James: Why do programmers mix up Halloween and Christmas.
  • Robert: Why?
  • James: Because Oct 31 == Dec 25. It is funny because 31 in the octal system is 25 in the decimal base numerical system. The ‘==’ symbolizes an equivalence statement in logic operations.
  • Robert: Could you please tell me where you heard this joke?
  • James: I first heard it in my CS 1 class.

10 Types of People

Title: 10 Types of People

General Information about Item:

  • Joke
  • English
  • United States

Informant Data:

  • Milan Chuttani is a Dartmouth ’18. He majors in Government and minors in computer science. He is most familiar with the computer languages Java and Python. He grew up in the state of Massachusetts.

Contextual Data:

  • Social Context
    • This joke would be popular to those who have at least a basic understanding of programming. Understanding the binary system is a very basic and introductory part of the general programming curriculum so even beginners would likely get it. Therefore it would be very common to first hear it in an introductory course on programming. Although this joke can be said verbally, it makes the most sense when presented in written form as 10 in binary would be called “zero one”, not “ten”, but the joke requires that the teller says “ten” as mistaking 10 for “ten” in integral to the joke.
  • Cultural Context
    • This joke is essentially a pun, except instead of using a word or phrase it uses the standard numerical system in programming. This joke also is one of those that would make beginner programmers feel part of a larger group. The joke is not so complex that they would not be able to understand it, but at the same time those who do not have any experience with binary or programming would be lost. In this way, it could give programmers of all skill levels a feeling of being “in” on something like a secret handshake or something along those lines. This builds a welcoming atmosphere for beginning programmers.
    • Milan encountered the joke on a T-shirt, making this particular piece a kind of material folklore.

Item:

There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don’t.

Transcript:

  • Robert: Could you please give your name and background?
  • Milan: Yeah, my name is Milan. I am an 18’ and a Gov major and computer science minor.
  • Robert: Could you please tell your joke?
  • Milan: Yep, there are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don’t.
  • Robert: Could you please tell me where you first got this joke from?
  • Milan: I saw it on a T-shirt somewhere and thought it was funny.
  • Robert: Could you please briefly explain the joke?
  • Milan: On the shirt there was a ‘1’ and a ‘0’ as opposed to a ‘10’ which in binary is two. So it’s funny because at first you think it’s ten types of people, but it’s actually just two.

Engineers on a Plane

Title: Engineers on a Plane

General Information about Item:

  • Joke
  • English
  • United States

Informant Data:

  • Christina Long is a Dartmouth ’18 from Ramsey, NJ studying Engineering modified with Computer Science.

Contextual Data:

  • Social Context
    • This joke is meant to be shared amongst fellow engineers who can appreciate the self-deprecating nature of the joke, especially in an academic setting. Chrissy encountered this joke on the social media website Reddit, where online communities of engineers and some non-engineers can share jokes and other aspects of the engineering lifestyle with each other.
  • Cultural Context
    • This joke relies heavily on the theme of self-deprecation, and that its characters include 3 engineering professors (not 3 professors of different disciplines) implies that its intended audience is made up of engineers. It is intended to be an in-joke that engineers share to acknowledge the difficulty of teaching engineering and laugh at themselves in good fun, not a mean-spirited insult of engineers from an outsider. Chrissy (and many other informants in this collection) encountered this joke on the internet, and the website Reddit in particular is well-suited to the propagation of folklore. Reddit creates internet forums for every conceivable topic or interest in smaller communities called “subreddits,” and the subreddits for jokes (and computer science and engineering jokes specifically) enjoy a lot of popularity from the engineers and some non-engineers who use the site.

Item:

There are three engineering professors on a plane that is about to take off. The pilot comes on over the intercom and gives out a special congratulations to these three professors because their own students have designed this very plane. Two of the professors begin to frantically unbuckle their seat belts and race for the exit. They turn around to the third professor who’s seated calmly and ask, “Why aren’t you running?” The third professor looks at them and says, “I know my students. This plane isn’t getting off the ground.”

Transcript:

  • Stephanie: Can you tell me your name and background?
  • Chrissy: I’m Christina Long, I’m a Dartmouth 2018, and I’m studying Engineering modified with Computer Science.
  • Stephanie: Can you tell me a programming or engineering joke you’ve heard before?
  • Chrissy: Yeah. So, there are these 3 engineering professors on a plane and the plane’s about to take off. The pilot comes on over the intercom and gives out a special congratulations to these 3 professors because it’s their own students who designed this very plane. Two of the professors begin to frantically unbuckle their seatbelt and race for the exit. They turn around to the third professor who’s seated calmly and they say, “Why aren’t you running?” The third professor looks at them and says, “I know my students. This isn’t getting off the ground.”
  • Stephanie: [laughs] Can you tell me a little bit about.. uh, the background of the joke, why is it funny?
  • Chrissy: It’s just kind of a self-deprecating joke to be shared among fellow engineers cause the implications are that the students are so utterly incompetent and the professors know it that they would build a plane that utterly fails.
  • Stephanie: And where did you first hear the joke, and who told you?
  • Chrissy: I think I read it online on Reddit.
  • Stephanie: Alright, thank you!

General Information about Item:

  • Joke
  • English
  • United States

Informant Data:

  • Robert Sylvia is a Dartmouth ’17 electrical engineer. He’s from Medfield, Massachusetts.

Contextual Data:

  • Social Context
    • This joke would be shared in a casual, friendly context, probably among peers who both know they have some computer science background. It may be more likely to be shared among computer science coworkers, as it references the work environment.
  • Cultural Context
    • The humor of this joke derives from a pun on the homophones “a raise” and “arrays”. More than just the pun though, the joke is humorous due to its niche appeal. Understanding arrays and pointers is rather entry-level knowledge, but it still requires education in computer science that anyone who’s never studied computer science likely wouldn’t know. It gives them a sense of belonging to an in-group. Both arrays and pointers can be used for storing and accessing information. Arrays tend to be bulkier but more intuitive, while pointers are more versatile but more complicated. People with computer science background who push this debate take pleasure in choosing one side over the other–constructing a sort of team rivalry between the two–so an audience to this joke would the reference to the debate and the side-picking.

Item:

A programmer goes into his boss’s office and says, “I need a raise.”

The boss responds, “No you don’t, you need pointers.”

Transcript:

  • Chrissy: Could you give your name and background?
  • Robert: I’m Robert Sylvia. I’m a Dartmouth ’17 engineering major.
  • Chrissy: Uh, could you tell us what joke you have?
  • Robert: Yes. It’s uh–So, there’s a programmer who goes into his boss’s office and says, “I need a raise.” And the boss responds, “No you don’t, you need–you can use pointers.”
  • Chrissy: So could you tell us where you heard–first heard the joke?
  • Robert: I think I heard this joke through my physics professor in high school. Although it’s a little fuzzy, so it may have just been something I picked up along the way.
  • Chrissy: And can you give the context of the joke?
  • Robert: Um, well the idea behind it is that there’s two things in programming called “arrays” and “pointers”. And, they kind of can be used to do the same thing. It’s just that some people–most people prefer using arrays. And then pointers are–…have some…benefits to them programming-wise but they’re slightly harder to use. And that’s kind of the gist of the joke.

Blind Golfers

General Information about Item:

  • Joke

  • United States

Informant Data:

  • Rafael Rosas is a Dartmouth ’20 studying engineering. He’s a 19 year old from San Diego, California.

Contextual Data:

  • Social Context
    • This would be shared in a light-hearted humorous setting among peers. Its humor is a bit darker than the other jokes (the lack of compassion for the firemen) so it may be less likely to be shared among peers who do not know each other well.
  • Cultural Context
    • Similar to the “Glass Half Full” joke, this joke derives its humor from the disparity between emotionally-driven thinking and logically-driven thinking. The priest and doctor are included as two people who are stereotypically compassionate. Their fields both concern helping improve the well-being of others. And so in a very empathetic situation, both the doctor and the priest express compassion and understanding for the blind firemen. The engineer though, in a show of callousness that is humorous in how cold a response it is.

Item:

A priest, a doctor, and an engineer were waiting one morning for a particularly slow group of golfers. The engineer fumed, “What’s with those guys? We  must have been waiting for fifteen minutes.” The doctor chimed in, “I don’t know, but I’ve never seen such inept golf.” The priest said, “Here comes the greenkeeper. Let’s have a word with him.”

The priest said, “Hello George, what’s wrong with the group ahead of us? They’re rather slow, aren’t they?.” The greenkeeper replied, “Oh yes, thats a group of blind firemen. They lost their sight saving our clubhouse from a fire last year so we always let them play for free at any time.”

The group fell silent for a moment. The priest said, “That’s so sad. I think I will say a special prayer for them tonight.,” The doctor said, “Good idea. I’m gonna contact my optomologist colleague and see if there’s anything he can do for them.” The engineer said, “Why can’t they play at night?”

Transcript:

  • Chrissy: Could you state your name and background?
  • Rafa: My name is Rafa, I’m a 20, and I’m a mechanical engineering major.
  • Chrissy: And, could you tell me what the joke is?
  • Rafa: The joke is kind of long. A priest, a doctor, and an engineer were waiting one morning for a particularly slow group of golfers. The engineer fumed “What’s with those guys? We  must have been waiting for fifteen minutes.” The doctor chimed in, “I don’t know, but I’ve never seen such inept golf.” The priest said “Here comes the greenkeeper. Let’s have a word with him.” The priest said, “Hello George, what’s wrong with the group ahead of us?

I think I will say a special prayer for them tonight.,” The doctor said, “Good idea. I’m gonna contact my optomologist colleague and see if there’s anything he can do for them.” The engineer said, “Why can’t they play at night?”
  • Chrissy: Alright, do you remember when you first heard the joke?
  • Rafa: Uh… I don’t know, it was a weird late night study session where you get distracted at like 3 am, start doodling weird things.”
  • Chrissy: And can you give an explanation of what makes the joke funny from an engineering standpoint?
  • Rafa: Yeah, so, what I–what I think makes the joke funny is that it’s very explicit about the fact that engineers are just looking for practical solutions. So the doctor is like “Oh my god, we need to fix their sight.” And the priest is like “Let’s pray for them.” But the engineer is like “I wanna play golf, and they’re in the way. If they’re blind, why don’t they play at night?”

Informant Data:

  • Annie Hang is a Dartmouth 18 studying mechanical engineering. She’s 22, Chinese, from Belmont, Massachusetts, and she’s an only child.

Contextual Data:

  • Social Context
    • This joke would be shared in a casual setting among engineers. It references the stereotypical mindset of engineers, so it would be less likely to be shared among people outside the group, even if the stereotype is understood.
  • Cultural Context
    • This joke is rather straight forward, and it derives its humor from highlighting the disparity between philosophical matters and practical matters. The punchline is very accessible to those outside of engineering fields–it’s clear that the engineer has broken from the philosophical convention and given a purely practical answer. Stereotypically, engineers are logic-oriented, and so the joke depends on that cultural understanding when it humorously deviates from a question that is exclusively emotional and gives it a purely logical solution.

Item:

A pessimist looks at a glass of water and states it’s half empty. An optimist looks at the same glass and states it is half full. But an engineer sees it and states the glass it twice as tall as it should be.

Transcript:

  • Annie: I’m Annie Hang, I’m an 18, and I’m a mechanical engineer.
  • Chrissy: And what joke do you have for us?
  • Annie: So a pessimist looks at a glass of water and states it’s half empty. An optimist looks at the same glass and states it is half full. But an engineer sees it and states the glass it twice as tall as it should be.
  • Chrissy: Uh, do you remember when you first heard the joke?
  • Annie: Yeah one of my group members told me, like, towards the beginning of the term when we were not dying yet.
  • Chrissy: And what about the joke, uh, makes it funny. What about engineering culture?
  • Annie: Uh, it’s just like, you know, the half-empty/half-full thing. That’s–that’s like a philosophical thing, and engineers are more into the practical solutions.

Elephant Volume

General Information about Item:

  • English
  • United States

Informant Data:

  • Sarah Rote is a Dartmouth 18 studying environmental engineering. She’s a 21 year old from Newton Square, Pennsylvania.

Contextual Data:

  • Social Context
    • This joke would be shared among peers during casual conversation for humorous effect. It would likely be exclusively shared among engineers who would find enjoyment in the self-deprecating humor, or among people of neighboring STEM fields in order to mock engineers.
  • Cultural Context
    • This joke hits upon a similar vein of cultural context as the “Sick Chicken” joke–the act of simplification for modeling engineering designs. A model that is overly simplified is a bad design, and so this joke mocks a “bad” engineer by exaggerating a trait that is stereotypically associated with engineers–the simplification of systems. What’s more, it draws on the cultural climate around mathematicians and physicists. Mathematicians are known for working almost exclusively in theoretical domains, so they rarely ever simplify. Math is concerned with exactness and precision,  and so some of the joke’s humor derives from emulating this archetype–the mathematician takes the most precise, and the most computationally heavy approach. Triple integration is the most precise and mathematically pure means of volume computation. The physicist emulates his own stereotype–the experimentally-driven. Physicists run physical experiments, unlike mathematicians,  so the physicist takes a very practical approach to volume calculation–water displacement. Then the engineer, as the punchline, is caught in the act of over-simplification just as the engineer in the Sick Chicken joke. He hazards a guess at the radius–not bothering with exact measurements and implying that he intends to model the elephant as a sphere.

Item:

A mathematician, a physicist, and an engineer are at the circus. They ask each other what is the approximate volume of an elephant.

The mathematician starts drawing a triple integral and solving a complicated equation.

The physicist says, “We need a tank of water this big. We’re going to put the elephant in and measure the displacement.”

The engineer stretches out his arms and says, “Approximate radius of the elephant.”

Transcript:

  • Chrissy: Could you state your name and background?
  • Sarah: My name is Sarah. I’m an 18 studying environmental engineering.
  • Chrissy: And can you tell me what your joke is?
  • Sarah: Uh, a mathematician, a physicist, and an engineer are at the circus. They ask each other what is the approximate volume of an elephant.

  • Sarah: I mean I think I read it online but I don’t remember the exact setting.
  • Chrissy: And can you give kind of a brief explanation of the joke. What about engineering culture makes it funny?
  • Sarah: Um, about the engineer, its that–make very broad approximations of real life. As in, an elephant is not a sphere. The mathematician makes it very exact, but the engineers approximate a lot.

Informant Data:

  • Ci Yu Yan is a 3-2 Dual Degree student from Vassar College who’s studying computer engineering at Dartmouth.

Contextual Data:

  • Social Context
    • This is a piece of folklore that would likely be shared among peers in a light-hearted manner. If shared among engineers, it would be humorous self-deprecation. If shared among a rivaling scientific field, it would be to mock engineers.
  • Cultural Context
    • This joke makes humorous light of a common challenge engineers face: the practice of making necessary simplifications to models without compromising its practicality. From outside the cultural perspective, an audience to the joke could easily pick up on the fact that the humor is in the absurdity of the simplifications the engineer makes when assessing the chicken. However, there is more nuance to understanding the joke. Good modeling is usually a trade-off. A complicated and specific model might give the most accurate result, but it may be entirely impractical to compute. On the other end of the spectrum, an overly-simplified model is practical to work with, but may be grossly inaccurate. One of the biggest frustrations in engineering is creating a model that works in theory, and falls apart in practice. The simplifications that an engineer makes are meant to be almost secret–the non-informed spectator should trust that the engineer’s model is “correct” to the real world system, even though the real system is so vastly complicated that no doubt simplifications and assumptions needed to be made. The joke makes light of that “secret” coming to light in a clumsy, absurd way.The engineer has taken an extremely complicated system–a living creature–and applied some of the most basic and reductive assumptions that engineers like to work with–spherical shape and no air friction. Obviously, the model falls apart, so the humor comes from an engineer understanding the absurd hyperbole of the common occurrence of a model being oversimplified.

A farmer has some chickens, except one of these chickens is sick, so he hires an engineer to look at his chicken and see what’s wrong.

The engineer comes, observes the chicken, does some calculations and says, “Okay, I know what’s wrong with your chicken, but only if it’s spherical and in a vacuum.”

Transcript:

  • Chrissy: Alright, so what’s your name and background?
  • Ci Yu: Ci Yu Yan. Background is a 3-2 student from Vassar doing electrical engineering.
  • Chrissy: And what’s the joke?
  • Ci Yu: Okay so this is a joke I heard on tv, but, um. So, this farmer has all these chickens, except one of these chickens is sick, so he hires an engineer to like, look at his chicken and see what’s wrong. So the engineer comes and observes the chicken and does all these calculations and is like, “Okay, I know what’s wrong with your chicken, but only if it’s spherical and in a vacuum.”
  • Chrissy: Okay, and what’s the explanation of the joke?
  • Ci Yu: So the explanation of the joke is that, um, when you like take any physics or engineering classes, a lot of the, like, problems are simplified to like have very ideal conditions without including, like, a lot of things like friction or other disturbances so, yeah.
