Blogger joke of the day
How do you tell if a blogger is extroverted? When he talks with you, he looks at your shoes.
That's from this thread.

If you're going to update the joke, shouldn't you update the joke?
How about "He looks at your hit counter"?

What happened to the "India Fact of the Day" post?

India post was wrong, not a fact. Sorry! I took it down.

I see that you are a blogger
And not just a common bum
Cause no-one but a blogger
Hits the space bar with his thumb

I heard a similar joke in a TED talk by a statistician who's name escapes me. But he used statistician (mathematician?) in the punch line. It struck me as funnier with a statistician/mathematician than a blogger.

This is a joke about intelligence analysts. I just read it in AJ Rossmiller's new book, Still Broken (really good, by the way).

It was also heard recently (within two months?) with engineers in place of bloggers, on the national "Whaddya Know?" quiz/talk public radio show. So probably, a fair number of people have recently heard it for the first time. (Myself included.)

The commedian Tim Bedore has been doing this joke about people from
Minnesota since at least 2005.
I'm sure eventually if this thread continues it will turn out that the joke
somehow pre-dates the introduction of footwear to western civilization.

We used to tell that joke in Engineering school back in the 1990s (with the subject being someone in one of the hard sciences).
