The Circuit Designer's Sense of Humor

1. "Sir, can I have your order?"
"I'll get the Pad-Thai".
"Would you like it with a 40 micron pitch?"

2. "Do you know why the scan chain isn't working?"
"Yeah, my flip-flop was driving under influence. It got a ticket for hold-time violation."

3. You said we need a lot of decap so I laid out our power-grid in poly and active.

4. I don't understand why Victoria Beckham isn't a circuit designer. She even calls herself P-SPICE.

5. "Did you know that the iPhone-4 has reception problems?"
"Yeah, they probably forgot to check DRC for antenna errors."

6. My girlfriend is very biased. She spends all her time looking into her current-mirror.

7. I hate Graduate student reviews. My Adviser always gives me a lot of positive feedback.

8. Ques: Why did the PMOS go to the doctor?
Ans: Because it was n-well.

9. Did you hear about the starved oscillator? Someone cutoff its supplies.

10. Our PLL designer takes his job very seriously. He even injection locks his screen.

11. [cory-info] [Fwd: Re: UCPOLICE Crime Alert - StrongArm Robbery]. The victim was threatened with a VDD-GND short.
