Discussion on: What is the funniest thing a non-developer has asked you about code?

Our manager, who isn't a developer but isn't stupid, likes trying to say things when the other dev and I are talking as if he's trying to help. He's making a joke, but it's sometimes hilarious.

Once we were in a meeting withour Database Admin and he was talking about moving to AWS and my manager is trying to get it all sorted. And the DBA asked why we wanted to move to AWS in the first place, and my manager replied with "Because we want an easy and secure way to encrypting our data at rest".

All devs looked at each other and was like "Holy crap he said something right!". Manager was dead proud of himself, until a few sentences later, we're talking about column encryption and the drawbacks, he said "We'll just put it in a PL/SQL block... No? Okay I'll shut up".
