Heard at a recent conference

[In line for a snack table]

Woman 1: They're serving guacamole and chocolate brownies, which don't go together.

Woman 2: Actually, I find that if you alternate chocolate with [tortilla] chips, you can eat more of both.

Ellen: That's a good idea!

Woman 1: That's what I do when I have PMS. That may be TMI.

[Making introductions]

Ellen: I teach at Mills College and am a part-time software engineer at Google.

Woman 3 (catching the last part of my introduction): What does it mean to be a part-time software engineer?

Ellen: It means that I usually program very badly and only write well-engineered code part of the time.
