Cyber Humour

Internet world

A teacher asked one of her pupils, 'What's the capital of USA?'

A kid replied, 'Washington DC'

"Very Good," said the teacher. And what does 'DC' stand for?

Without blinking an eyelid, the pupil replied confidently, Dot com!

Service staff woes

1. A customer complained to the help desk that she was having problems with diskette failures. On checking the service engineer said the disks were failing due to head crashes and if she would just clean the head periodically, she wouldn't have these problems. The customer responded, "What kind of shampoo do you recommend?"

2. An end-user hotline received a call about a bad software disk. They asked the customer to make a copy of the disk and mail it in to the hotline. A few days later, they received a letter with a mimeographed copy of the disk. Since it was a double-sided disk, both sides of the disk had been xeroxed.

Dumb users

A blonde computer student was learning DOS. She was asked by her instructor to clear the screen. She took out her handkerchief.

Another blonde computer user had a brilliant idea for saving disk space. She thought if she put all his Microsoft Word documents into a tiny font they would take up less room.

And finally a thought for the day

A TV can insult your intelligence, but nothing rubs it in like a computer.
