It’s a Pierre to Pierre network.

Thespian Network

But I just couldn't get the message across.

Edit: I wish I knew more about networking so I could understand all these jokes.

In the late '60s the government was developing ARPANET and the developers were trying to find a way for users on the system to communicate with each other.

The scientists involved came up with an electronic messaging system that they called the Tickle.

Tickles could be used to send important code updates, meeting invitations, or even just little jokes all along the network.

The DOD heard about these Tickles and asked for a briefing to determine their military potential. At a high-level meeting of generals and admirals, the lead developer presented the Tickle concept.

The ranking General asked for a demonstration and the lead scientist said "Sure, I'll send you a test Tickle."

And that's how E-mail was born.

My 7 year old daughter started with "What do you call an underwater social network? Fishbook!" My 7 year old son then said "What is the best animal to hit a baseball? A bat!" Mother of god...what have I done?

Far less "computer networking" and so much more "murderous clowning" than anticipated

the network responded "The number you have dialled cannot be reached."

I know this is probably old but I've waited years to do this...

Went to computer shop to buy a network cable and the assistant (female) asked how long I wanted it....

I want to keep it! I said.

Jeez, if looks could kill, my head would have exploded there and then.

Totally worth it though.. :-)

My gf and I were watching the food network when Guy Fieri comes on for a commercial. I start to rant about my general annoyance with him.

Me: "... yada, yada, yada... his hair just makes me..."

GF: "Fieri-ous?"

I had to stop mid rant because that was pretty good! I think my girlfriend became a dad.

Redditors that do networking would probably appreciate this.

I tell my roommates "Looks like our network ...

... does notwork."

"It's not a network, It's a not-work" Cue self laughter

"I'm experiencing packet loss"

^It's ^a ^networking ^term ^joke ^my ^friend ^dropped ^lastnight ^at ^maccas

Me: "Hey dad, the wifi isn't working. What's wrong with it?"

Dad: "We got a new network set up today."

Me: "Why?"

Dad: "...Fi"

I'm in Tech Support for a major Networking company. Just had a conversation with my Dad. For context, I'm also a Dad.

Dad vs dad

I was at a friend's house, and he asked me to Google something for him. Not being online, I asked if I could join his Wi-Fi network. He said to connect to "guest network", and that the password I was "YouGuestIt".

Context: We were discussing the Malaysian airline situation and it's coverage on major news networks. He says > "They're covering this story so much, you could say its becoming a plain story"

Whole class groaned

I'm currently taking a course in computer communication, and explained some of the history of the internet and networking in general with my parents.

When I got to the part about wireless connections, I mentioned that the first wireless data network was the ALOHA-NET, which was developed on the Hawaii islands.

Dad was quiet for a few seconds, and then said with a smile:

"Is that why it's called HawaiiFi?

'Hey now, Dad, don't hate on DiCaprio. He's a saint, and has never won an Oscar despite his many Oscar-worthy roles." "I think only the Food Network can determine that. " "The Food Network?" "Yeah. What kind of rolls are you talking about?"
