No, really, it wasn't really a joke, but more of a funny story that almost everyone laughs at... except this particular CTO. Sigh. I'd explain it here, but there's some backstory that is required for the story to be funny, and the backstory is a project that I worked on for a few years. They always want to know more about that project, so by the time I'm wrapping up the short explanation, they have enough information to understand why this one thing is funny.
In retrospect, maybe that suggests that she wasn't really paying attention. Maybe I just didn't notice. Hmm.
