I've changed my email signature to the bottom one of the Geek Jokes list (as above):
C isn't that hard: void (*(*f[])())() defines f as an array of unspecified size, of pointers to functions that return pointers to functions that return void
I once had that as an interview question! C isn't that hard: void (*(*f[])())() defines f as an array of unspecified size, of pointers to functions that return pointers to functions that return void

s for short..http://www.theregister.co.uk/2007/11/09/nanotube_a...
i can't believe the (english) editors of the journal let it through.

I think I read this one on here actually.
One day a wife was in the kitchen and realised she needed some things from the shop. She called on her developer husband to run down the shop and pick up the goods. "I need you to pick up a loaf of bread and if they have eggs, get half a dozen."
A short while later the husband returns to wife with 6 loaves of bread.
"They had eggs!" the husband explained.

(wouldn't be software dev without some blaming would it?)
A shepherd is tending his flock when a new S63 pulls up next to his field. A guy jumps out of the car wearing £1000 loafers, an Armani suit and a Patek Philippe dangling from his wrist.
"Hey there Shepherd" says the guy, "If I can guess exactly how many sheep you've got in this field, can I have one of them?".
The Shepherd looks at his flock and says "I'm a betting man; give it your best shot".
The guy pulls out an iPhone and checks his GPS co-ordinates, then he rings up an imaging company and has a satellite tasked to the area. 20 minutes later a 0.5m resolution image of the field is sent through to his laptop and he counts up the animals.
"Shepherd, you've got exactly 1218 sheep here".
The Shepherd confirms this is correct, so the guy opens the boot of his Merc and puts an animal in.
"Tell me sir" says the Shepherd, "If I can guess what you do for a living, can I have my animal back?"
"Certainly", says the guy with a wry grin.
"You're an IT Consultant and you work for either Accenture or KPMG"
"Bloody hell" says the consultant "How'd you guess?"
"Well" says the Shepherd "Firstly, you turned up unannounced, unwanted and with no prior warning. Secondly you told me exactly what I already knew. And then you went and proved you knew absolutely nothing about my business. So give me back my sheepdog".
