This is a job for the techies

[MaryAnnDVC]

Cheer me up. It's been an awful day, following 6 months of some really awful days. But you guys are just some of the nicest people on the DIS and so much fun.

I hope I don't get in trouble for posting this here (just lock it rather than move it, if so); if I posted on the CB (where of course there are no cliques but if there were I'm not in any) and didn't get any responses, then what would THAT do to me?

So, if we need to keep this technically technical, you might want to throw in some funny clipart or something. K? Any good computer geek jokes??

Another user rings the help line.

"I need more space" he says

"Well, why not move to Texas?" I ask

"No, on my account, stupid."

Stupid? Uh-Oh..

"I'm terribly sorry" I say, in a polite manner equal to that of Jimmy Stewart in a Weekend Family Matine Feature "I didn't quite catch that. What was it that you said?"

I smell the fear coming down the line at me, but it's too late, he's a goner and he knows it.

"Um, I said what I wanted was more space on my account, *please*"

"Sure, hang on"

I hear him gasp his relief even though he'd covered the mouthpeice.

"There, you've got *plenty* of space now!"

"How much have I got?" he simps

Now this *REALLY* *MAKES* *ME* *MAD*! Not only do they want me to give them extra space, they want to check it, then correct me if I don't give them enough! They should be happy with what I give them *and that's it*!

Back into Jimmy Stewart mode.

"Well, let's see, you have 4 Meg available"

"Wow! Eight Meg in total, thanks!" he says, pleased with his bargaining power

"No" I interrupt, savouring this like a fine red at room temperature, with steak, extra rare, to follow; "4 Meg in total.."

"Huh? I'd used 4 Meg already, How could I have 4 Meg Available?"

I say nothing. It'll come to him.

"aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagggggghhhhhH!"

I kill me; I really do!

What could I possibly say after Bob's wit??

I stink at jokes, not to mention having to follow Bob. I can commiserate with you though, Mare. So far 2001 pretty much stinks! Oh wait, you wanted to be cheered up.

How about a rousing game of the Flying Cow or some laughs at the Dialectizer?

OK, now I'm mad. Can you believe marbles is gone?

 

[BobBrazeal]

Lisa,

Are you talking about the marbles game? The one that I play is still there!

Marbles Game and others

I originaly made this for kids, but it brings a smile to some adults too. (It helps if there is music in the background.)

You got me laughing, JC.

Thanks for the marbles link, Bob.

 

[MaryAnnDVC]

Thanks! I've been having a ball. I'm getting very good at flinging cows and Mickey's body parts around.

I saw this quote on these boards:
"Roses are red, violets are blue, I'm a schitozphrenic and so am I."

 

[MaryAnnDVC]

LOL!!!!
