The boss! A man goes into a pet shop to buy a parrot. The shop owner points to three identical looking parrots on a perch and says: "The parrot to the left costs $ 500." "Why does the parrot cost so much?" the customer asks. The owner says, "Well, it knows how to use a computer." The customer asks about the next parrot and is told: "That one costs $ 1,000 because it can do everything the other parrot can do plus it knows how to use the Unix operating system." Naturally, the increasingly startled man asks about the third parrot and is told: "That one costs $ 2,000." Needless to say this begs the question, "What can it do?" To which the owner replies, "To be honest I have never seen it do a thing but the other two call him boss!" Bill Gates and General Motors Bill Gates is hanging out with the chairman of General Motors. "If automotive technology had kept pace with computer technology over the past few decades," boasts Gates, "you would now be driving a V-32 instead of a V-8, and it would have a top speed of 10,000 miles per hour. Or, you could have an economy car that weighs 30 pounds and gets a thousand miles to a gallon of gas. In either case, the sticker price of a new car would be less than $50." "Sure," says the GM chairman. "But would you really want to drive a car that crashes four times a day?" Workaholic An architect, an artist and a programmer were discussing whether it was better to have a wife or a mistress. Architect: "I enjoy time with my wife, building a solid foundation for an enduring relationship." Artist: "I enjoy time with my mistress, because of the passion and mystery we share." Programmer:
"I prefer to have both." "Both?" Programmer: "Yeah. If you have a wife and a mistress, they will each assume you are spending time with the other woman, and you can go to the office and get some work done." |
