I have a software engineering joke, but it is not updating.

 I keep thinking I should write an app, but do it in some older language just so people would scratch their heads and say "Why am I installing Fortran or Cobol here again?"

Then I decide, it isn't worth the effort to troll someone else.




Now this?  It reads like a plot to a Big Bang Theory Episode.




 Oil Tycoons Son Gets Accepted to Harvard

A foreign Oil Tycoons son gets accepted to Harvard, to prepare his son for life in a new country he shells out big money for a Tudor Style Mansion, and to get him to and from school he gets him a top of the line Rolls Royce.

On his first day of class he pulls up in his brand new Rolls Royce and immediately gets comments from his fellow students

"Amazing car, I took the bus to school, I'm so jealous"

"Nice car, sure beats getting dropped off by your mom like I did"

Even one of his professors notices him in his class and says "Hey, I saw you pull up in a Rolls Royce. Maybe one day that'll be me, but I took the train in this morning"

At the end of the day the oil tycoon calls his son to ask about his first day at Harvard. His son responds "Dad it was amazing, just like its shown on TV but I felt a little uneasy since I came in a Rolls Royce but so many of my fellow students came in a bus, and even one of my professors came by train."

The dad responds "Ok, I've wired you $10 Million, please buy yourself a train to take to school to stop embarrassing this family"
