At my client site, I offered a dry-run of an upcoming talk on Monads (stay tuned for more info). In my email to the team, I gave some fair warnings that the talk would be über-geeky.
One wag responded:
Oooh... a brown bag on material that's inherently dry, well outside my comfort zone, and irrelevant to my future? I'M IN!
This is a wonderfully succinct definition of being a geek. These are my people.
ps. Before you begin to riot, Haskell/FP fans: neither my respondent nor I truly think monads are irrelevant.
Btw, the tone of the email was not sarcastic but sincere with dry wit. That's why I posted this.
