Computer Jokes-3

1. Computer: Male of Female?

A Spanish teacher was explaining to her class that in Spanish, unlike English, nouns are designated as either masculine or feminine. 'House' for instance, is feminine: "la casa",
"Pencil", however, is masculine: "el lapiz".
A student asked, 'What gender is "computer"?'

Instead of giving the answer, the teacher split the class into two groups, male and female, and asked them to decide for themselves whether computer' should be a masculine or a feminine noun. Each group was asked to give four reasons for its recommendation.

The men's group decided that 'computer' should definitely be of the feminine gender ('la computadora'), because:

1. No one but their creator understands their internal logic;
2. The native language they use to communicate with other computers is incomprehensible to everyone else;
3. Even the smallest mistakes are stored in long term memory for possible later retrieval; and
4. As soon as you make a commitment to one, you find yourself spending half your pay check on accessories for it.

(THIS GETS BETTER!)

The women's group, however, concluded that computers should be Masculine ('e computador'), because:

1. In order to do anything with them, you have to turn them on;
2. They have a lot of data but still can't think for themselves;
3. They are supposed to help you solve problems, but half the time they themselves are the problem; and
4. As soon as you commit to one, you realize that if you had waited a little longer, you could have gotten a better model.

The women won.

Tell this to all the smart women you know...and all the men that have a sense of humor.


2. Another Version of the Above

A language instructor was explaining to her class that in French, nouns unlike their English counterparts, are grammatically designated as masculine or feminine.

"House," in French, is feminine-"la maison." "Pencil," in French, is masculine-"le crayon."

One puzzled student asked, "What gender is computer?"

The teacher did not know, and the word wasn't in her French dictionary either. So for fun she split the class into two groups appropriately enough, by gender and asked them to decide whether "computer" should be a masculine or feminine noun.

Both groups were required to give four reasons for their recommendation. The women's group decided that computers should be masculine ("le computer"), because:

1. In order to get their attention, you have to turn them on;
2. They have a lot of data but they are still clueless
3. They are supposed to help you solve problems, but half the time they ARE the problem
4. As soon as you commit to one, you realize that if you'd waited a little longer, you could have gotten a better model.

The men's group, however, concluded that computers should definitely be of the feminine gender ("la computer"), because:

1. No one but their creator understands their internal logic
2. The native language they use to communicate with other computers is incomprehensible to everyone else
3. Even the smallest mistakes are stored in long-term memory for possible later retrieval

4. As soon as you make a commitment to one, you find yourself spending half your pay check on accessories for it.

The men won ;)


3. A Letter to a Computer Savvy Husband

To my darling Husband,
I am sending you this e-mail from a bogus software company address so that you will be sure to read it. Please forgive the deception, but I thought you should know what has been going on at home since your computer entered our lives two years ago.

The children are doing well. Tommy is seven now and is a bright, handsome boy. He has developed quite an interest in the arts. He drew a family portrait for a school project. All the figures were good but yours was excellent! The chair and the back of your head are very realistic. You would be very proud of him. Little Jennifer turned three in September. She looks a lot like you did at that age. She is an attractive child and quite smart. She still remembers that you spent the whole afternoon with her on her birthday. What a grand day for Jen, despite the fact that it was stormy and the electricity was out.

I am also doing well. I went blond about a year ago and was delighted to discover that it really is more fun! Lars, I mean Mr. Swenson, the Department Head, has taken an interest in my career and has become a good friend to us all. I have discovered that the household chores are much easier since I realized that you don't mind being vacuumed but that feather dusting made you sneeze. The house is in good shape. I had the living room painted last Spring. I'm not sure if you noticed it. I made sure the painters cut air holes in the drop cloth so you wouldn't be disturbed.

Well, my dear, I must be going. Uncle Lars, Mr. Swenson, I mean, is taking us all on a ski trip and there will be packing to do. I have hired a housekeeper to take care of things while we are away. She'll keep things in order, fill your coffee cup, and bring meals to your desk, - just the way you like it. I hope you and the PC have a lovely time while we are gone. Tommy, Jen and I will think of you often. Try to remember us while your disks are booting.

Love,
Mary (Your Wife)

Husband - "Erroneous syntax, abort, retry, cancel....

Wife - "Hey Bhagavaan! OK, forget about Saaree, where's your salary?"
Husband - "File in use, read only, try after some time..."

Wife - "OK, at least give me your credit card, I can do some shopping, and will buy my Saaree myself..."
Husband - "Sharing violation, access denied..."

Wife - "Uff, This is my greatest mistake to marry you..."
Husband - "Data type mismatch..."

Wife - "You are completely useless.."
Husband - "By default..."

Wife - "OK, let us change the topic, who was there with you in the car this morning?"
Husband - "System unstable press ctrl, alt, del to Reboot..."

Wife - "What is my value in your life?"
Husband - "Unknown virus detected..."

Wife - "OK, tell me do you love me or your computer?"
Husband - "Too many parameters.. ."

Wife - "I will go to my Dad's house.."
Husband - "Program performed illegal operation, it will Close..."

Wife - "I will leave you forever..."
Husband - "Close all programs and log out for another User..."

Wife - "It is simply worthless talking to you..
Husband - "Shut down the computer..."

Wife - "I am going now..."
Husband - "Its now safe to turn off your computer..."

Have a Nice day... :) ;-)
