Troubleshooting business tech issues isn’t an easy job, and humor is a great way to cope with the pressures of working in IT.
In our IT comic series featuring cheesy jokes, we ask Spiceworks Community members to vote on whether our illustrated jokes make you laugh, or want to cry.
Last time, the votes on our pun-laden, dad-joke-worthy computer comics were equally split between grin (funny) and groan (not so much). This time, the focus is on data storage technologies.
Check out our storage jokes, then vote in our polls to let us know if they made you grin or groan.

I voted “Groan” for a few, but “face-palm” would’ve been a more accurate description of my response.

This reminds me of when I high school calculus teacher used to write “math jokes” on the chalkboard, usually eventually involving dividing something by zero. He thought they were hilarious. Weird dude, but learned a lot in that class.

Along with that, there were members of a calculus class that took song titles and inserted math terms. This is the only one I can remember.
