Cyber Humour

Signs you have had enough of the new millennium
From Sunil Sharma

1) You try to enter your password on the microwave.

2) You now think of three espressos as "getting wasted."

3) You haven't played solitaire with a real deck of cards in years.

4) You have a list of 15 phone numbers to reach your family of three.

5) You e-mail your son in his room to tell him that dinner is ready, and he e-mails you back, "What's for dinner?"

6) Your daughter sells Girl Scout Cookies via her Website.

7) You chat several times a day with a stranger from South Africa, but you haven't spoken to your next-door neighbour yet this year.

8) You didn't give your wife a Valentine's card this year, but you posted one for your e-mail buddies via a Web page.
9) Your daughter just bought CDs of all the worst records your college roommate used to play.

10) Every commercial on television has a Website address at the bottom of the screen.

11) You buy a computer and a week later it is out of date. And now sells for half the price you paid.

12) The concept of using real money, instead of credit or debit, to make a purchase is foreign to you.

13) Cleaning up the dining area means getting the fast food bags out of the backseat of your car.

14) Your reason for not staying in touch with family is that they do not have e-mail addresses.

15) You consider second-day air delivery painfully slow.

16) You refer to your dining room table as "the flat filing cabinet."

17) Your idea of being organised is multiple coloured post-it notes.

18) You find you really need PowerPoint to explain what you do for a living.

19) You normally eat out of vending machines and at the most expensive restaurant in town within the same week.

20) You think a "half-day" means leaving at 5 o'clock.

21) You hear most of your jokes via e-mail instead of in person.
