Hi guys, I know this is kind of an odd request, but I need your help.

I just got invited to a Halloween Party by good friends and I'm really not big on the costume stuff. I usually just wear a piece of paper around my neck with some sort of "joke" on it.

So there will be a lot of programmers and computer scientists at this party and that's where I need you guys help. I need ideas for cheesy Programmer Humor kind of oneliner jokes I can easily fit on a normal piece of paper.

I'm kinda looking for stuff recognisable by most, but too niche for me to come up with it myself.

I have none to superficial understanding of programming languages, but I really don't need an explanation of the joke. If sb asks, I'll just come up with something.

I hope you guys can help me out with that.

Decided to write it in python for brevity.

if you.can_read_this():
    you.is_too_close = True 

though if you know what you're doing, you'd be more likely to do something like

you.is_too_close = you.can_read_this()
