Cyber Humour

Had life been software
Sunil Sharma

1) Five minutes ago you were travelling to office at 80 kmph. in your brand new car.

Now you are travelling to the hospital at double the speed in an ambulance.

You wish there was ‘Undo’ in life!

2) You are already late and your key is missing.

You wish there was ‘Find’ in life!

3) You are a bankrupt, after investing in some weird business.

You wish there was ‘Rebuild all’ in life!

4) The train is so crowded that you cannot get anywhere near that nice girl at the other end. You wish there was ‘Zoom and view full screen’ in life!

5) After marriage you realise that there is bound to be a mismatch. You wish there was an ‘Evaluation period’ or at least a ‘Sample Download’ or a ‘Demo version!’

6) One day you realise that you are turning bald. You wish there was ‘Cut and Paste’ in life!

TV is better than WWW

10. It doesn’t take minutes to build the picture when you change TV channels.

9. When was the last time you tuned in "Baywatch" and got a "Not Found 404" message?

8. There are fewer grating colour schemes on TV — even on MTV.

7. The family never argues over which Website to visit this evening.

6. A remote control has fewer buttons than a keyboard.

5. Even the worst TV shows never excuse themselves with an ‘Under Construction’ sign.

4. It never slows down when a lot of people tune in.

3. You just can’t find those cool Health Rider infomercials on the Web.

2. Set-top boxes don’t beep and whine when you hook up to HBO.

...and the number one reason TV is better than the Web.

1. You can’t surf the Web from a couch with a beer in one hand and a remote in the other.
