It will last 10 seconds, it has two characters, it does not have a setting, it ends with a punchline.""Ok, I am ready to get your TCP joke that will last 10 seconds, has two characters, does not have an explicit setting, and ends with a punchline.""I'm sorry, your connection has timed out.

  I was asked in an interview to explain the difference between TCP and UDP.I knew about enough to fill an index card: enough for an adequate interview answer, but not enough that I would relish getting follow-up questions.While deciding what to say I started with this joke. The interviewer laughed and moved on to the next question. I got the job offer.
