This isn't exactly a programming joke but considering how many of us physics majors become programmers, I think it works:

Heisenberg, Shrodinger and Ohm were driving down a highway when they get pulled over by a cop. The cop asks Heisenberg if he knew how fast he was going, as you can surmise, he claimed he didn't know because he knew exactly where they were. The cop, finding this suspicious (and because this is not USA and 4th amendment does not apply) decides to search the car. He comes back to the front and asks them why they have a dead cat in the trunk, Shrodinger responds, "because you opened the trunk you fool!!". The cop is now irritated and promptly moves to arrest all three. Ohm, resisted.

In real life, an interviewer was talking to Werner Heisenberg. They were getting to the end of the interview, but before they wrapped up, the interviewer asked, "So, tell me Mr Heisenberg... What do you think of the jokes?" Werner Heisenberg sat forward with a twinkle in his eye and said, "What jokes?"

My preferred version:

Heisenberg and Schrodinger are driving down the road when they hit a bump.

Schrodinger says: I think you ran over a cat!

Heisenberg: Is the cat dead?

Schrodinger: I can't be certain.

Best one so far!
