The last reponse reminds me of the following observations:

When you tell a joke to an English teacher, he will laugh once, when
     you tell him the joke.
When you tell a a joke to a Scientist, he will laugh twice. Once
     when you tell him the joke, to be polite. Again, when you 
     explain the humor in the joke to him.
When you tell a joke to an Engineer, he will laugh three times.
     Once when you tell him the joke, to be polite. Once when you 
     explain the joke to him, to be polite.  Again, in the 
     middle of the night when he finally understands the joke.
When you tell a joke to a Computer Scientist, he will not laugh
     at all.  He will tell you that it is an old joke and that
     he heard it before. Moreover, you told it all WRONG !!!
