The Lighter Side

April 16, 2001

Here are some IT related jokes and humor that I have collected over the years. Most of you will have seen one or another, but they are a nice diversion to the day anyways.

Please DO NOT pass these to non-IT people in your company. Many people would not find these nearly as funny as those of us in the profession.

The Lighter Side will be moving to www.sqlservercentral.com.
