That joke comes in many flavors doesn't it? I know a version with 3 Engineers, one from MS, one from Oracle and one from Intel. Essentially, this one: http://www.jokes.net/threeengineers.htm but with different companies.

How do you tell a white collar worker from a blue collar worker?

The white collar worker washes his hands after going to the bathroom stall, the blue collar worker before.

My guess, the joke is as old as time and there's variations of it with different nationalities instead of professions.
