Nerd Season

Nerd Season

A truck driver hauling a tractor-trailer load

of computers stops for a beer. As he approaches

the bar he sees a big sign on the door saying

"NERDS NOT ALLOWED--ENTER AT YOUR OWN RISK!"

He goes in and sits down.

The bartender comes over to him, sniffs, says

he smells kind of nerdy, asks him what he does

for a living. The truck driver says he drives

a truck, and the smell is just from the computers

he is hauling. The bartender says OK, truck drivers

are not nerds, and serves him a beer.

As he is sipping his beer, a skinny guy walks

in with tape around his glasses, a pocket protector

with twelve kinds of pens and pencils, and a

belt at least a foot too long. The bartender,

without saying a word, pulls out a shotgun and

blows the guy away. The truck driver asks him

why he did that. The bartender said not to worry,

the nerds are over-populating the Silicon Valley,

and are in season now. "You don't even need a

license," he said.

So the truck driver finishes his beer, gets

back in his truck, and heads back onto the freeway.

Suddenly he veers to avoid an accident, and the

load shifts. The back door breaks open and computers

spill out all over the freeway.

He jumps out and sees a crowd already forming,

grabbing up the computers. They are all engineers,

accountants and programmers wearing the nerdiest

clothes he has ever seen. He can't let them steal

his whole load, so remembering what happened

in the bar, he pulls out his gun and starts blasting

away, felling several of them instantly.

A highway patrol officer comes zooming up and

jumps out of the car screaming at him to stop.

The truck driver said, "What's wrong? I thought

nerds were in season."

"Well, sure," said the patrolman, "but it's

illegal to bait 'em."

Yes I remember it well

I too am a nerd from Silicon Vally. I remember one time my boss was leaving the company and we had a party for him. Every body taped there classes, the art department made pocked protecters and to this bar we went.
