I've heard another variant of this joke: A friend asks a programmer if they'd like to go bowling or go to the movies. The programmer answers: "Yes".

- tasuki 6y agoThat's... not another variant of that joke?
- rnotaro 6y agoOne is about "Or" statements and the other is about "And" statements. All three logisticians needs to be "true/yes" and the first one didn't know about the two others so the logistician says "I don't know". If he didn't wanted dessert, he would have said "no". Same thing for the second logistician. The last logistician was able to say "yes, we would." because none of the other logistician said "no". Therefore, they all wanted dessert.
- abiogenesis 6y agoStill not a variant of the former joke. The latter is about the meaning of "or" in a logic or coding context vs its meaning in human languages.
- ReptileMan 6y agoThey ask Lemmy Kilminster whether he likes more beer or women. He answers yes.
- YeGoblynQueenne 6y agoNo - "hell yes". In fact, "Hell yeah". It's Lemmy Kilminster, right?
- BerislavLopac 6y agoI always found it funny how, in human language, when we say "or" we actually mean XOR, and had to invent "and/or" to be clear when we mean OR...
