At an interview, a programmer is asked what he would do if the microwave would catch fire. He says he would throw it out the window. Baffled, the interviewer asks "okay, what if the coffee brewer catches fire?" And the programmer replies "Put it in the microwave and throw it out the window, as we already have a solution for that problem."

you can not throw ![Java | [Coffee]](https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/coffee.gif) out the window!

You can throw burnt coffee out the window.
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

You can if your language's "object" definition supports IDefenestratable - most real world modelling systems do

A 5 for knowing what defenestration means.

Yes, everybody knows that if the microwaver burns, you simply buy a new one.
|
|
|
|
|
Well that, and the interviewer never said they got a new microwave... so how can you put the coffee maker in it to throw it out the window?
|
|
|
|

that's easy, you run outside and retrieve the old microwave - then put the coffee machine in it, you are not thinking the problem through

No I am programmer, I don't run fast

Who said speed matters? That'd be premature optimization. 
Of course, you could simply install a spare microwave to catch the exception.
GOTOs are a bit like wire coat hangers: they tend to breed in the darkness, such that where there once were few, eventually there are many, and the program's architecture collapses beneath them. (Fran Poretto)

Clearly not a real-time programmer then!
It's not a question of optimization, it's a question of a race condition.

Hah, you're right! Efficiency was never part of the question!

Can't put the coffee machine in the microwave - it's made of metal and might catch fire.

Ah, our are isolated with wood, so this cannot happen. Deutsche Qualität.

he would do nothing - its a hardware problem

That's more funnier than the joke!  
Your time will come, if you let it be right.

Good solution, incorporating the principles of both re-usability and encapsulation.
