Strap yourselves to your chair... this has to be the funniest email I have
ever received!!!!!!!!!!
Scale: 1-10 ? OFF THE CHARTS!
Bud Abbott and Lou Costello's famous sketch "Who's on first?" might have
turned out something like this:
COSTELLO CALLS TO BUY A COMPUTER FROM ABBOTT . . .
ABBOTT: Super Duper computer store. Can I help you? COSTELLO: Thanks. I'm
setting up an office in my den and I'm thinking about buying a computer.
ABBOTT: Mac?
COSTELLO: No, the name's Lou. ABBOTT: Your computer? COSTELLO: I don't own a
computer. I want to buy one ABBOTT: Mac? COSTELLO: I told you, my name's
Lou.
ABBOTT: What about Windows?
COSTELLO: Why? Will it get stuffy in here?
ABBOTT: Do you want a computer with Windows?
COSTELLO: I don't know. What will I see when I look in the windows? ABBOTT:
Wallpaper.
COSTELLO: Never mind the windows. I need a computer and software. ABBOTT:
Software for Windows?
COSTELLO: No. On the computer! I need something I can use to write
proposals, track expenses and run my business. What have you got? ABBOTT:
Office. COSTELLO: Yeah, for my office. Can you recommend anything? ABBOTT: I
just did.
COSTELLO: You just did what?
ABBOTT: Recommend something.
COSTELLO: You recommended something?
ABBOTT: Yes.
COSTELLO: For my office?
ABBOTT: Yes..
COSTELLO: OK, what did you recommend for my office? ABBOTT: Office.
COSTELLO: Yes, for my office! ABBOTT: I recommend Office with Windows.
COSTELLO: I already have an office with windows! OK, lets just say I'm
sitting at my computer and I want to type a proposal. What do I need?
ABBOTT: Word.
COSTELLO: What word?
ABBOTT: Word in Office.
COSTELLO: The only word in office is office.
ABBOTT: The Word in Office for Windows.
COSTELLO: Which word in office for windows? ABBOTT: The Word you get when
you click the blue "W". COSTELLO: I'm going to click your blue "w" if you
don't start with some straight answers. OK, forget that. Can I watch movies
on the Internet? ABBOTT: Yes, you want Real One.
COSTELLO: Maybe a real one, maybe a cartoon. What I watch is none of your
business. Just tell me what I need! ABBOTT: Real One. COSTELLO: If it's a
long movie I also want to see reel 2, 3 & 4. Can I watch them?
ABBOTT: Of course.
COSTELLO: Great! With what? ABBOTT: Real One. COSTELLO: OK, I'm at my
computer and I want to watch a movie. What do I do?
ABBOTT: You click the blue "1".
COSTELLO: I click the blue one what?
ABBOTT: The blue "1".
COSTELLO: Is that different from the blue w?
ABBOTT: The blue "1" is Real One and the blue "W" is Word. COSTELLO: What
word? ABBOTT: The Word in Office for Windows.
COSTELLO: But there's three words in "office for windows"! ABBOTT: No, just
one. But it's the most popular Word in the world. COSTELLO: It is?
ABBOTT: Yes, but to be fair, there aren't many other Words left. It pretty
much wiped out all the other Words out there. COSTELLO: And that word is
real one?
ABBOTT: Real One has nothing to do with Word. Real One isn't even part of
Office. COSTELLO: STOP! Don't start that again. What about financial
bookkeeping? You have anything I can track my money with? ABBOTT: Money.
COSTELLO: That's right. What do you have?
ABBOTT: Money.
COSTELLO: I need money to track my money?
ABBOTT: It comes bundled with your computer
COSTELLO: What's bundled with my computer?
ABBOTT: Money.
COSTELLO: Money comes with my computer? ABBOTT: Yes. No extra charge.
COSTELLO: I get a bundle of money with my computer? How much? ABBOTT: One
copy. COSTELLO: Isn't it illegal to copy money?
ABBOTT: Microsoft gave us a license to copy money.
COSTELLO: They can give you a license to copy money? ABBOTT: Why not? THEY
OWN IT!
A FEW DAYS LATER . .
ABBOTT: Super Duper computer store. Can I help you? COSTELLO: How do I turn
my computer off?
ABBOTT: Click on "START"..........
