So we were discussing a milestone that requires a meeting in Oregon, where we have many offices, and we determined that our presence at the meeting depended on getting certain tests run and certified, and since Oregon is abbreviated as OR and our attendance is gated by the tests, I said the tests are the OR gate.
Ba dump bump.
You don’t? Well, I was going to add that if that doesn’t work, we could synthesize the gate with an inverted-input NAND, ha ha.
Be dum—
Really? Is engineer humor truly out of reach? Is it really on such a higher plane than that of mere mortals?
Well, I was pleased at the team’s response. No one laughed, not one person, and of course this means they are very cool.

Yes, very amusing.
Said with a straight face too.
Since I am having a Charlie Gordon moment and was also an English major, totally over my head.
My sister the engineer would probably love this, and I would send it to her except then my cover would be blown and my family would know what a terrible person I am.
And quit changing your blog url, goddammit, I can't keep up with it on my links.
It's extraordinarily lame and your sister would say so. And what are you whining about, from what I hear New York is full of minutes. (A "New York minute" being very small, and ... never mind.)
It's true. We have more of them than most other places. It's just because we have so much to do in all those minutes.
If the OR gate fails, just invert - tell Keera I said "hi" when you exit the pattern somewhere near Bergen. You know. In Norway.
(C'mon. It's a NOR Gate, people. Gawd. Get with the program.)
