I used to have as my signature a math joke in binary
There are 10 types of people in the world, those that understand
binary, and those that don't!
Well I just found this on on one of my favourite websites and I
have been litterally crying with laughter at my desk....

Many of you are familiar with the joke that there are 10 kinds of people, those that know binary number system and those that don't... this is a chat recording between me and a guy who falls into the latter category who didn't get the joke when I had it as my Away Message... now posted here for your amusement!
Yes, I know I am a real bastard sometimes.
1+1=10 woo math!
ME=me DF=dumb friend
DF: are their 9 type's of binary or what
DF: because I never waisted my time to learn
ME: no just 10 kinds of people
DF: well your joke only has two types
DF: see what meaning does it have
ME: yeah, 10 kinds of people
ME: that's the joke
ME: there are 10 types of people: 1 group understands binary, and the other doesn't
DF: so you have to say there are 9 other groups of people who do not understand. Is this a racial joke or a stupid joke?
DF: So the first thing that comes to my mind is that this has some type of racial thing behind it.
DF: so what exactly are the other 9 groups?
ME: what nine groups? there are only 10
DF: only 10 one of them knows binary and the other 9 do not. so what are the other 9?
DF: and it cant be "only" if there are more than the first # I gave you.
ME: where did this "9" thing come from?
DF: well the nine are the remainder
ME: There are only 10 kinds of people
DF: okay what are they
ME: there is one kind that understands, and one that doesn't which makes 10 groups
DF: okay you see you are missing what I am pointing at. yes 1 type knows binary but can you tell me what type of groups the other 9 are made up of.
ME: what other nine? there is only one group that doesn't know binary
DF: then what the hell did you start with 10 for. It makes no sense. you could have said yeah only one guy out of 10 knows Binary and that would be more understandable. But no you had to make it all crazy and out there
ME: woah chill dude, its completely logical
DF: you could have said yeah there are 2 kinds of people those who know binary and those who dont
DF: Well I see that but it was stupid logic
ME: you have 1 group that knows binary, and 1 group that doesn't, which gives you 10 groups
DF: no
DF: actually that gives you 2 groups
ME: yeah, 10 groups
DF: wait a minute read what you just said. isnt that a math error on your part
ME: no
DF: because 1+1 does not equal 10
DF: at least not in my text book
ME: yes it does!
DF: what the @#$%
DF: you are the one making math errors
DF: I can see a group of nine and a group of one adding up to 10 but that is just dumb to say because the joke is dumb to start with
ME: well nine plus one doesn't make 10
DF: what
DF:maybe in that binary crap but in my book it does
ME: sorry, let me rephrase that, 1001 + 1 /= 10
DF: okay like I said it is in Binary
ME: nine plus one doesn't equal two
DF: See I will never deal with that because no where in my life will it come up that I will HAVE to know it
DF: I will get teaching in more important things such as business, government politics, and science
DF: not some stupid code
DF:gosh we can sit here and argue about this for hoiurs
hours
ME: gee and what code serves as the basis for the world's telecommunications network?
ME: on which all business, government and science relies?
DF: well I do not know or care because I just push some buttons on my phone and it calls people
DF: no not actually
DF: if I want I can have a guy on horse back ride my letter across country
see I do not need to depend on it
ME: the Pony Express went bankrupt due to the telegraph you know
DF: I do
DF: but if I want to I can still get a bum to do it
DF: by promising money at the end and maybe some beer
