HILA BARROW

I used to post some authentic joke (i.e. joke created solely myself) on my new-born-sized whiteboard (because I don’t know what else to put on it). The Hila Barrow will collect the most amusing ones. Enjoy.

MASTER: TO IMPROVE YOUR PRESENTATION, USE PIE CHARTS …
PEON: WHY?
MASTER: PIES ARE BETTER THAN
BARS (THE WORST PLACE),
LINEUPS (LEAST YOU WANT),
& PYRAMIDS (MUMMY’S HOUSE).
SO, GO YUMMY PIES!

PEON: WHY?
BECKY: I WANT TO BE MORE THAN 5.

AVANI: PEON, I NEED A CODE REVIEW. TEXT CHANGE FROM “DATA EXTRACTION LIMIT” TO “INTELLIGENT SKIP SCANNING.”
PEON: NOT “INTELLIGENT SCAN SKIPPING”?
AVANI: NO, IT’S FROM PM. ACTUALLY, WE SHOULD CALL IT “INTELLIGENT SCAN.”
PEON: NOT “INTELLIGENCE SCAN”?
AVANI: WHY ARE WE EVEN TALKING ABOUT THIS?
PEON: BECOZ I’M TRYING TO HOST A DILBERT SHOW AND YOU COMPLAINED ABOUT JOKE BOARD NOT UPDATING.

SOMEONE: DID YOU KNOW ANY PSYCHICS?
PEON: YES, I KNOW ONE VERY GOOD IN TAIPEI.
SOMEONE: HOW GOOD?
PEON: HE TOLD ME THAT I’LL BE SURROUNDED BY PRETTY LADIES FOR MY LIFE.
SOMEONE: WOW! IS THAT REAL?
PEON: YES. ALTHO HE DELIBERATELY IGNORED THE DIAPER CHANGING PART.
