Tech Humor:

Two tech-support employees working for a major software manufacturer are out
hunting and become lost. One of them says, “I’ll shoot up in the air three
times and see if someone comes to helps us”. He gets off three shots into the
air, but no one comes to help.

After a while, he shoots up in the air three more times. Still no one shows
up to help. He starts to shoot again and the other one says, “I really hope
it works this time, it’s getting dark, and we’re almost out of arrows.”
