Mischek:
A marketer asks a programmer: What's the difficulty in supporting a big project?

Programmer: Imagine that you are a writer and you are supporting a project called War and Peace. You have the terms of reference to write a chapter about Natasha Rostova walking in the rain in the park. You write "it was raining", save it, you get an error message "Natasha Rostova has died, no continuation possible". Why is she dead? You start to look into it. It turns out that Pierre Bezukhov has slippery shoes, he fell down, his gun hit the ground and shot the pole, and a bullet from the pole ricocheted into Natasha. What to do? Load the gun with blanks? Change the shoes? We decide to remove the pole. We get the message, "Lieutenant Rzhevsky is dead." Turns out he's leaning against a pole in the next chapter that's already gone...

Just because you are inexperienced and jump to far-reaching conclusions doesn't mean I'm going to rush in and educate you now.


 
A husband and wife have gone to bed. They hear the neighbours making love. Husband to wife:
- Let's jump on the bed so the neighbours think we're making love.
They jump on the bed and go to bed.
In the morning, at breakfast, the wife puts an empty plate with a spoon on the table in front of her husband:
- Eat up, darling.
-... ?!
- And you rattle the spoon, let the neighbours think you're eating.
