What is the best computer geek joke you've ever heard?
A teacher gives a student a piece of paper which says: "Please go to the board and write 100 sentences." The student promptly rises, writes four sentences, then sits down. The teacher is baffled by this and asks the student, "What are you doing? I told you to write 100 sentences." The student quickly responds, "Allow me to explain to you how binary works."
