I have to share

Twelve years ago I taught a LabVIEW class in San Diego.  The guy at the rental car place (which was in a particularly bad part of town) looks at my business card and says, "National Instruments...what, are you some kind of musician?"

 

Somewhat relatedly, the rental car broke down two days later and they had to send me a taxi to get another one.

This is far better to my experience.

 

I completed M.Sc Instrumentation and some of the people from remote colleges also joined along with me.

 

Once after we became good friends one of my friend told me " I thought Instrumentation means some study on musical instruments thats why I joined" Smiley Surprised

 

We had a very good laugh on that for an hour Smiley LOL

Please forgive if I have posted this previously (Yair Smiley Wink )

 

I was working in the condensed matter physics labs at the University of Pittsburgh doing computer and electronic stuff. One of the professors had a challenge in mind for me and asked me..

 

Prof: Ben, do you know LabVIEW?

 

Having been through a bunch of languages already I figured it was just another language that I could figure out responded...

 

Ben: "G I don't know. But I could probably figure it out."

 

It took me two years to realize that was a bad pun.

I was all excited about your using electronics, etc., at the condensed matter lab until I realized it wasn't a distillery! Sorry, one of the trivia questions on the Mardi Gras themed wine tour Kerry and I went on this weekend had a bad pun relating the the winery's sister distillery.

 

Along the original theme, I was in Austin for NIWeek, wearing my 6i T-shirt that said "Got Diagrams?" on it. Went into the H.E.B (grocery store chain down there) and had the store's pharmacist come up to me laughing, saying he had initially read it as "Got Diaphragms?"
