Home -> Community -> Usenet -> c.d.o.misc -> Joke: DBAs vs. Developers
Well OOW 2001 is coming up and here is a joke I found on
pipetalk.revealnet.com
I thought I share with you all.
You may have read this somewhere already, perhaps a diff version btw 2 types
of people
On a train to an Oracle convention there were a bunch of DBA's and a bunch
of Developers.
Each of the DBA's had a train ticket. The group of Developers had only ONE
ticket for all of them.
The DBA'a started laughing, figuring the developers were going to get caught
and thrown off the train.
When one of the Developers, the lookout, said "here comes the conductor",
all
of the developers went into the bathroom. The DBA's were puzzled.
The conductor came aboard, said "tickets please" and got tickets from all
the DBA's. He then went to
the bathroom and knocked on the door and said "ticket please". The Developer
stuck the ticket under the door.
The conductor took it and moved on. A few minutes later the Developers came
out of the bathroom.
The DBA's felt really stupid.
On the way back from the convention, the group of DBA's decided that they
would try that method, too.
They bought one ticket for the whole group.
They met up with the Developers in the same car. This time NONE of them had
tickets.
Again, the DBA's started snickering at the developers.
When the lookout said "Conductor coming!", all the DBA's went to one
bathroom and all the Developers
went to the other bathroom.
Before the conductor came on board, one of the Developers left their
bathroom, knocked on the DBA's
bathroom, and said "ticket please."
