A JavaScript developer, a Python developer, a C++ developer, and 97 PHP developers enter a bar.

The barman asks, “What can I get ya, fellows?”

The PHP developers say they’ll make their orders later. The barman turns to the JavaScript developer and asks him for his order.

“I’ll have a beer.” The JavaScript developer replies, and the barman turns around and quickly serves him a bottle.

The PHP developers start singing loudly: “99 bottles of beer on the wall, 99 bottles of beer. Take one down and pass it around, 98 bottles of beer on the wall.”

The barman feels a headache coming on. He ignores them and asks the Python developer what she’ll have. He cringes internally when the woman orders a beer as well.

Quickly, he serves her a beer.

“98 bottles of beer on the wall, 98 bottles of beer. Take one down and pass it around, 97 bottles of beer on the wall.”

The PHP developers finish singing the next verse. The barman, now incensed, looks at the PHP developers and asks why they’re doing this.

“We heard there’s strength in numbers.”

The barman scowls and turns to C++ developer with a sigh, “What about you then? What can I get ya?”

The C++ developer sighs, “I’ll have 97 bottles of beer.”

    Yeah, was the C++ dev just “pre-empting” the PHP devs by ordering all their beers for them so they don’t do it one by one and sing the rest of the song?
