  Things You Don't Want To Hear From Technical Support

  "Do you have a sledgehammer or a brick handy?"

  * "That's right, not even McGyver could fix it."

  * "So -- what are you wearing?"

  * "Duuuuuude! Bummer!"

  * "Looks like you're gonna need some new dilithium crystals, Capt'n."

  * "Press 1 for Support. Press 2 if you're with 60 Minutes. Press 3 if you're with the FTC."

  * "We can fix this, but you're gonna need a butter knife, a roll of duct tape, and a car battery."

  * "In layman's terms, we call that the Hindenburg Effect."

  * "Hold on a second... Mom! Timmy's hitting me!"

  * "Okay, turn to page 523 in your copy of Dianetics."

  * "Please hold for Mr. Gates' attorney."

  Is Windows a Virus?

  Is Windows a Virus?

  No, Windows is not a virus. Here's what viruses do:

  1.They replicate quickly - okay, Windows does that.

  2.Viruses use up valuable system resources, slowing down the system as they do so - okay, Windows does that.

  3.Viruses will, from time to time, trash your hard disk - okay, Windows does that too.

  4.Viruses are usually carried, unknown to the user, along with valuable programs and systems. - Sigh.. Windows does that, too.

  5.Viruses will occasionally make the user suspect their system is too slow (see 2) and the user will buy new hardware. - Yup, Windows does that, too.

  Until now it seems Windows is a virus but there are fundamental differences: Viruses are well supported by their authors, are running on most systems, their program code is fast, compact and efficient and they tend to become more sophisticated as they mature.

  So Windows is not a virus.

  It's a bug.

  Nice Rug!

  A woman walks into a shop that sells expensive Persian Rugs. 
   
  Looking around, she spots the perfect rug, walks over and inspects it. 
   
  As she bends to feel the texture of the rug she farts loudly. 
   
  Very embarrassed she looks around nervously to see if anyone has noticed her 'little accident' and hopes a sales person does not pop up right now. 
   
  As she turns back, there standing next to her is a salesman. "Good day Ma'am, how may we help you today?" 
   
  Very uncomfortably she asks, "How much does this rug cost?" 
   
  He answers, "Lady if you farted just touching it, you're gonna crap your pants when you hear what the price is."
