readers may tangentially enjoy yosefk's "cardinal programming jokes" -- the first one featuring a manhole: https://yosefk.com/blog/the-cardinal-programming-jokes.html https://yosefk.com/blog/the-cardinal-programming-jokes.html > I must warn you about those jokes. Firstly, they are translated from Russian and Hebrew by yours truly, which may cause them to lose some of their charm. Secondly, I'm not sure they came with that much charm to begin with, because my taste in jokes (or otherwise) can be politely characterized as "lowbrow". In particular, all 3 jokes are based on the sewer/plumber metaphor. I didn't consciously collect them based on this criterion, it just turns out that I can't think of a better metaphor for programming.
