There's always one. This has got to be one of the funniest things
in a
long time. I think this guy should have been promoted, not fired.
This is a
true story from the Word Perfect Helpline, which was transcribed
from a
recording monitoring the customer care department. Needless to say
the Help
Desk employee was fired; however, he/she is currently suing the
Word
Perfect organization for "Termination without Cause".
Actual dialogue of a
former WordPerfect Customer Support employee. (Now I know why they
record
these conversations!):
Operator: "Ridge Hall, computer assistance; May I help you?"
Caller: "Yes, well, I'm having trouble with WordPerfect."
Operator: "What sort of trouble??"
Caller: "Well, I was just typing along, and all of a sudden
the words went
away."
Operator: "Went away?"
Caller: "They disappeared."
Operator: "Hmm. So what does your screen look like now?"
Caller: "Nothing."
Operator: "Nothing??"
Caller: "It's blank; it won't accept anything when I type."
Operator: "Are you still in WordPerfect, or did you get out??"
Caller: "How do I tell?"
Operator: "Can you see the C: prompt on the screen??"
Caller: "What's a sea-prompt?"
Operator: "Never mind, can you move your cursor around the
screen?"
Caller: "There isn't any cursor: I told you, it won't accept
anything I
type."
Operator: "Does your monitor have a power indicator??"
Caller: "What's a monitor?"
Operator: "It's the thing with the screen on it that looks
like a TV. Does
it have a little light that tells you when it's on??"
Caller: "I don't know."
Operator: "Well, then look on the back of the monitor and find
where the
power cord goes into it. Can you see that??"
Caller: "Yes, I think so."
Operator: "Great. Follow the cord to the plug, and tell me
if it's plugged
into the wall.
Caller: "Yes, it is."
Operator: "When you were behind the monitor, did you notice
that there
were two cables plugged into the back of it, not just one??"
Caller: "No."
Operator: "Well, there are. I need you to look back there again
and find
the other cable."
Caller: "Okay, here it is."
Operator: "Follow it for me, and tell me if it's plugged securely
into the
back of your computer."
Caller: "I can't reach."
Operator: "Uh huh. Well, can you see if it is??"
Caller: "No."
Operator: "Even if you maybe put your knee on something and
lean way
over??"
Caller: "Oh, it's not because I don't have the right angle
- it's because
it's dark."
Operator: "Dark??"
Caller: "Yes - the office light is off, and the only light
I have is
coming in from the window."
Operator: "Well, turn on the office light then."
Caller: "I can't."
Operator: "No? Why not??"
Caller: "Because there's a power failure."
Operator: "A power......................... ............. A
power failure?
Aha, Okay, we've got it licked now. Do you still have the boxes
and manuals
and packing stuff your computer came in??"
Caller: "Well, yes, I keep them in the closet."
Operator: "Good. Go get them, and unplug your system and pack
it up just
like it was when you got it. Then take it back to the store you
bought it
from."
Caller: "Really? Is it that bad?"
Operator: "Yes, I'm afraid it is."
Caller: "Well, all right then, I suppose. What do I tell them??"
Operator: "Tell them you're too f*%king stupid to own a computer".
An inflatable pupil goes to his inflatable school and is having
a really bad day. Bored in his history lesson, he gets up and
walks out. Walking down the corridor, he sees the inflatable headmaster
walking towards him and he pulls a knife out and stabs him.
He runs out of the school. As he gets outside, he thinks again
"I hate school" and pulls his knife out and stabs the
inflatable school. He runs off to his inflatable home.
Two hours later, his inflatable mum is knocking at his inflatable
bedroom door with the inflatable police. Panicking, inflatable
boy pulls out the knife and stabs himself.
Later on that evening, he wakes up in an inflatable hospital
and sees the inflatable headmaster in the inflatable bed next
to him. Shaking his deflated head, more in sorrow than in anger,
the headmaster gravely intones:
"You've let me down; you've let the school down, but worst
of all, you've let yourself down".

WHY AM I MARRIED?
You have two choices in life:
You can stay single and be miserable,
or get married and wish you were dead.
At a cocktail party, one woman said to another,
"Aren't you wearing your wedding ring on the wrong finger?"
"Yes, I am. I married the wrong man."
A lady inserted an ad in the classifieds:
"Husband Wanted".
Next day she received a hundred letters.
They all said the same thing:
"You can have mine."
When a woman steals your husband,
there is no better revenge than to let her keep him.
A woman is incomplete until she is married. Then she is finished
.
A little boy asked his father,
"Daddy, how much does it cost to get married?"
Father replied, "I don't know son, I'm still paying."
A young son asked,
"Is it true Dad, that in some parts of Africa
a man doesn't know his wife until he marries her?"
Dad replied, "That happens in every country, son."
Then there was a woman who said,
"I never knew what real happiness was until I got married,
and by then, it was too late."
Marriage is the triumph of imagination over intelligence.
If you want your spouse to listen and
pay strict attention to every word you say -- talk in your sleep.
Just think, if it weren't for marriage, men would go through life
thinking
they had no faults at all.
First guy says, "My wife's an angel!"
Second guy remarks, "You're lucky, mine's still alive."
AND NOW FOR THE FAVORITE!!!
Husband and wife are waiting at the bus stop with their nine children.
A
blind man joins them after a few minutes. When the bus arrives,
they find it
overloaded and only the wife and the nine kids are able to fit
onto the bus.
So the husband and the blind man decide to walk. After a while,
the husband
gets irritated by the ticking of the stick of the blind man as
he taps it on
the sidewalk, and says to him, "Why don't you put a piece
of rubber at the end of your stick?
That ticking sound is driving me crazy."
The blind man replies, "If you would've put a rubber at the
end of YOUR
stick, we'd be riding the bus . so shut the hell up."
There was a man who worked for the Post Office whose job it
was to process
all the mail that had illegible addresses.
One day just before Christmas, a letter landed on his desk, simply
addressed in shaky handwriting to "God".
With no other clue on the envelope, he opened the letter and read,
"Dear
God, I am an 83 year old widow living on the State pension.
Yesterday someone stole my purse. It had £100 in it, which
was all the
money I had in the world and no pension due until after Christmas.
Next week is Christmas and I had invited two of my friends over
for Xmas
dinner. Without that money, I have nothing to buy food with. I
have no
family to turn to, and you are my only hope. God; can you please
help me?"
The postal worker was really touched, and put a copy of the letter
up on
the Staff Notice board, at the main sorting office where he worked.
The letter touched the other postmen and they all dug into their
pockets
and had a whip round. Between them they raised £96. Using
an official franked
Post Office envelope, they sent the cash on to the old lady, and
for the rest of the day, all the workers felt a warm glow thinking
of the nice thing they had done.
Christmas came and went. A few days later, another letter simply
addressed
to "God" landed in the Sorting Office. Many of the postmen
gathered around
while the letter was opened.
It read, "Dear God, How can I ever thank you enough for what
you did for
me?
Because of your generosity, I was able to provide a lovely dinner
for my
friends. We had a very nice day, and I told my friends of your
wonderful
gift - in fact we haven't gotten over it and our Vicar is beside
himself
with joy.
By the way, there was £4 missing. I think it must have been
those thieving
B@stards at the Post Office."
A bloke starts his new job at the zoo and is given three tasks.
The
first is to clear the exotic fish pool of weeds. As he does this,
a
huge fish jumps out and bites him. To show the others who's boss,
he
beats it to death with a spade. Realizing his employer won't be
best
pleased, he disposes of the fish by feeding it to the lions, as
lions
will eat anything.
Moving on to the second job of clearing out the chimpanzee house,
he
is attacked by the chimps who pelt him with coconuts. He swipes
at two
chimps with a spade, killing them both. What can he do? Feed them
to
the lions, he says to himself, because lions eat anything. He
hurls
the corpses into the lion enclosure.
He moves on to the last job, which is to collect honey from the
South
American Bees. As soon as he starts he is attacked and stung by
the
bees. He grabs the spade and smashes the bees to a pulp. By now
he
knows what to do and throws them into the lion's cage - because
lions
eat anything.
Later that day a new lion arrives at the zoo. He wanders up to
another
lion and says, "What's the food like here?"
The other lions say, "Absolutely brilliant. Today we had
fish and
chimps with mushy bees."

An English doctor is being shown around a Scottish hospital during
the Great War. At The end of his visit, he is shown into a ward
with a number of patients who have no sign of obvious injury.
He goes to examine the first man that he sees, and the man proclaims:
"Fair fa your honest, sonsie face, Great Chieftan of the
Pudding race! A Boon them a ye tak your place. Painch, tripe or
thairm: Weel are ye wordy of a grace as langs my arm."
A little taken aback by the exchange the doctor goes to see
the next patient. Almost as soon as he arrives at the side of
the bed the patient immediately launches into:
Some hae meat and canna eat, and some wad eat that want it,
But we hae meat and we can eat, and sae the lord be thankit.
Well mutters the doctor to his Scottish colleague, I see you
saved the psychiatric ward to last ,"Nay Nay" the Scottish
doctor corrected hem. This is the Serious Burns Unit http://www.hubbards.co.nz/
A Jewish couple has a son who is a holy terror. When he gets to
be of age, he's kicked out of every school they put him in. Finally
desperate, the father goes to the Rabbi for advice and the Rabbi
says put him in the Catholic school. Shocked, the father asks if
the Rabbi sure. "Yes" is the reply, so the father takes him to the
nuns and leaves.
An hour goes by, then two hours, lunch time and finally at three
the son comes in says "Good afternoon Papa, good afternoon Mama,"
goes to the table and starts on his homework. The father is amazed
and finally ask why he stayed in school all day and why he is
behaving so well. His son looks up and says "Papa when you left,
the Mother Superior told me that they did not allow rowdy boys,
then she took me to my room. Papa they mean business! They've
got a Jew nailed on a Cross in every room!"
An Irishman moves into a tiny hamlet in County Kerry, walks into
the pub and promptly orders three beers. The bartender raises his
eyebrows, but serves the man three beers, which he drinks quietly
at a table, alone. An hour later, the man has finished the three
beers and orders three more. This happens yet again. The next evening
the man again orders and drinks three beers at a time, several times.
Soon the entire town is whispering about the Man Who Orders Three
Beers. Finally, a week later, the bartender broaches the subject
on behalf of the town. "I don't mean to pry, but folks around here
are wondering why you always order three beers?" 'Tis odd, isn't
it?" the man replies, "You see, I have two brothers, and one went
to America, and the other to Australia. We promised each other that
we would always order an extra two beers whenever we drank as a
way of keeping up the family bond." The bartender and the whole
town was pleased with this answer, and soon the Man Who Orders Three
Beers became a local celebrity and source of pride to the hamlet,
even to the extent that out-of-towners would come to watch him drink.
Then, one day, the man comes in and orders only two beers. The bartender
pours them with a heavy heart. This continues for the rest of the
evening - he orders only two beers. The word flies around town.
Prayers are offered for the soul of one of the brothers. The next
day, the bartender says to the man, "Folks around here, me first
of all, want to offer condolences to you for the death of your brother.
You know-the two beers and all..." The man ponders this for a moment,
then replies, "You'll be happy to hear that my two brothers are
alive and well... It's just that I, myself, have decided to give
up drinking for Lent."
A man suffered a serious heart attack and had an open heart bypass
surgery. He awakened from the surgery to find himself in the care
of nuns at a Catholic Hospital.
As he was recovering, a nun asked him questions regarding how
he was going to pay for his treatment. She asked if he had health
insurance.
He replied, in a raspy voice, "No health insurance."
The nun asked if he had money in the bank.
He replied, "No money in the bank."
The nun asked, "Do you have a relative who could help you?"
He said, "I only have a spinster sister, who is a nun."
The nun became agitated and announced loudly, "Nuns are not
spinsters! Nuns are married to God."
The patient replied, "Send the bill to my Brother-in-law."
While cruising at 36,000 feet, the airplane shuddered, and a
passenger looked out the window. "Oh no!" he screamed,
"One of the engines just blew up!" Other passengers left
their seats and came running over; suddenly the aircraft was rocked
by a second blast as yet another engine exploded on the other side.
The passengers were in a panic now, and even the stewardesses couldn't
maintain order. Just then, standing tall and smiling confidently,
the pilot strode from the cockpit and assured everyone that there
was nothing to worry about. His words and his demeanor seemed made
most of the passengers feel better, and they sat down as the pilot
calmly walked to the door of the aircraft. There, he grabbed several
packages from under the seats and began handing them to the flight
attendants. Each crew member attached the package to their backs.
"Say," spoke up an alert passenger, "Aren't those
parachutes?" The pilot confirmed that they were. The passenger
went on, "But I thought you said there was nothing to worry
about?" "There isn't," replied the pilot as a third
engine exploded. "We're going to get help."
Taxiing down the tarmac, the jetliner abruptly stopped, turned around
and returned to the gate. After an hour-long wait, it finally took
off. A concerned passenger asked the flight attendant, "What
was the problem?" "The pilot was bothered by a noise he
heard in the engine," explained the Flight Attendant, "and
it took us a while to find a new pilot."
A man goes to the toy shop to buy his daughter a birthday
present.
Being a real macho guy, he has no idea what to get her so he asks
for some assistance from the shop assistant.
"I thought I'd buy her a doll", he says, "but
which one should I get?"
"Well, here we have some of the more popular ones. we
have the Malibu
Barbie for £12.00, which comes with a bathing suit and a
towel. We have
the Ballerina Barbie for £23.00, which comes with a tutu
and a cassette.
We have the Aerobics Barbie for £30.00, which comes with
a leotard and
a workout CD. And we have the new Divorce, Barbie for £1500.00."
The man was flabbergasted. "Why does that one cost so
much more
than the others?"
"Oh well that's easy.", replied the assistant ,
"This Barbie comes with Ken's
car, Ken's boat, Ken's house, Ken's..." (for Mr. Watson)
The announcement followed Ferrari's decision to take advantage
of the British Government's work for dole scheme and employ unemployable
Scousers. The decision to hire them was bought on by a recent
documentary on how Liverpool youths were able to remove a set
of wheels in under 6 seconds without proper equipment, whereas
Ferrari's existing crew can only do it in 8 seconds with high
tech gear.
This was thought to be an excellent, yet bold move by Ferrari
Management as races are won and lost in the pits and Ferrari would
have an advantage over every team.
However, Ferrari got more than they bargained for at the
crew's first practice session, not only were the Scouse pit crew
able to change tyres in under 6 seconds, but within 12 seconds
they had resprayed, rebadged and sold the vehicle to the McLaren
team for 4 bottles of Stella, a gram of speed and a quick shufty
at Coulthard's bird in the shower.
A mature woman was at home happily jumping on her
bed and squealing with delight.
Her husband watches her for a while and asks, "Do you
have any idea how ridiculous you look? What's the
matter with you?"
The woman continues to bounce on the bed and says, "I
don't care. I just came from having a mammogram and
the doctor says I have the breasts of an 18 year-old."
The husband said, "What did he say about your 56 year
old arse?"
"Your name never came up," she replied (Sharon)
On a tour of New Zealand, the Pope took a few days off to visit
the coast for some sightseeing. He was cruising along the beach
in the Pope-mobile when there was a frantic commotion just off
shore. A helpless man, wearing a France rugby shirt, was struggling
frantically to free himself from the jaws of a 25 foot shark.
As the Pope watched in horror, a speedboat pulled up with three
men wearing England shirts. One quickly fired a harpoon into the
shark's side while the other two reached out and pulled the blue
semiconscious Frog from the water. Then using the long clubs,
the three beat the shark to death and hauled it into the boat.
Immediately the Pope shouted and summoned them to him. "I
give you my blessing for your brave actions. I heard that there
were some bitter hatreds between the French and the English, but
now I have seen with my own eyes that this is not true."
As the Pope drove off, the harpooner asked his pals, "Who
was that?" "It was the Pope" one replied. "He
is in direct contact with God and has access to all of God's wisdom."
"Well" the harpooner said, "he may have access
to God and his wisdom, but he doesn't know anything about shark
fishing. Is the bait holding up OK or do we need to get another
one?"
Three women were sitting around talking about their sex lives.
The first said, "I think my husband's like a championship golfer.
He's spent the last ten years perfecting his stroke."
The second woman said, "My husband's like the winner of the
Indy 500. Every time we get into bed he gives me several hundred
exciting laps."
The third woman was silent until she was asked, "Tell us about
your husband."
She thought for a moment and said, "My husband's like an Olympic
gold-medal-winning quarter-miler."
"How so?"
"He's got his time down to under 40 seconds."
A man was caught in a flood. Two men came by in a boat to rescue
him, but he waved them away shouting "No the Lord will save
me"
One hour later another boat came along, but the man said "No
the Lord will save me"
Eventually, a helicopter arrived but the man insisted, "The
Lord will save Me"
Unfortunately the man drowned and at the gates of heaven he
asked St. Peter "Wy didn't the Lord save me?"
And St. Peter replied "for crying out loud, he sent two
boats and a helicopter, what more do you want?!" (for Gill,
Katie and Charlotte)
Tired Old Engineer Jokes
(Let me say that I truly admire engineers... I think they are
one of the few
professions like bus drivers and nurses that do
ACTUAL IMPORTANT WORK in our society.
Without them, we'd be studying

*************** Comprehending Engineers - Take One ***************
Two engineering students were walking across campus when one
said, "Where did you get that great titanium bike?"
The second engineer replied, "Well, I was walking along yesterday
minding my own business when a beautiful woman rode up on this
bike. She threw the bike to the ground, took off all her
clothes and said, "Take what you want."
"The second engineer nodded approvingly, "Good choice;
the
clothes probably wouldn't have fit."

A pastor, a doctor and an engineer were waiting one
morning for a particularly slow group of golfers.
The engineer fumed, "What's with these guys?
We must have been waiting for 15 minutes!"
The doctor chimed in, "I don't know, but
I've never seen such ineptitude!"
The pastor said, "Hey, here comes the greens keeper. Let's
have a
word with him." [dramatic pause]
"Hi George. Say, what's with that group ahead of us?
They're rather slow, aren't they?"
The greens keeper replied, "Oh, yes, that's a group of blind
firefighters. They lost their sight saving our clubhouse from
a fire last year, so we always let them play for free anytime."
The group was silent for a moment.
The pastor said, "That's so sad. I think I will say a special
prayer for them tonight."
The doctor said, "Good idea. And I'm going to contact my
ophthalmologist buddy and see if there's anything
he can do for them."
The engineer said, "Why can't these guys play at night?"

I phoned up a really gorgeous ex-girlfriend of mine the other
day. We lost track of time, chatting about the wild nights we
used to enjoy together. I couldn't BELIEVE it when she asked if
I'd like to meet up and maybe rekindle a little of that magic.
"Wow!" I said "I don't know if I could keep pace
with you now! I'm a bit older and a bit balder than when you last
saw me!" She giggled and said she was sure I'd meet the challenge!
"Yeah," I said, "Just so long as you don't mind
a man with a waistband that's a few inches wider these days!"
She laughed and told me to stop being so silly! She teased me,
saying she thought tubby bald men were cute! "Anyway",
she said, "I've put on a couple of pounds myself!" So
I hung up.
Young Johnny had been blind since birth. His mother had always
explained to him that it was God's will and must be accepted.
One Sunday, Johnny's mom came home from church and told Johnny
that she'd had a conversation with God and He agreed that it was
time to let Johnny see. "He said if you'll pray real hard
and fast every day this week, next Sunday you'll be able to see.
Young John hardly ate a bite that week and spent his every waking
hour praying and waiting for Sunday. By Saturday night he was
weak from hunger and exhausted from praying and he dropped off
to sleep in great anticipation of morning. Johnny woke to the
sound of church bells on the soft Spring morning. He lay with
his eyes closed for several minutes to savor the coming event.
Slowly, he opened his eyes, and to his great dismay, realized
he was still blind. "Mom!" the lad yelled, "I still
can't see." His mother, touching the boy's head softly, said,
"Yes, I know Johnny, April Fool!" -

One day, Mr. Phillard rushed his pregnant wife over to the
hospital. As the doctors were prepping his wife, Mr. Phillard's
idiot brother Bill arrived to watch the birth. But when Mr. Phillard
saw the blood and everything else, he fainted. When Mr. Phillard
woke up he was in a bed with the doctor standing above him.
"Mr. Phillard," the doctor said, "you are in the
recovery room. Don't worry, your wife is fine and she had twins,
a boy and a girl. Because you were unconscious and your wife was
still under anaesthesia, she requested that your brother Bill
name the kids."
"What! My brother, the idiot! I can't believe you let him!
What did he name them?"
"He named your daughter Denise."
"Hey, not bad! I underestimated my brother. What did
he name my son?"
"He named your son Denephew." (Tim)

There was a plane on its way to Melbourne, Australia. On this
plane was a blonde woman who although she had an Economy Class
ticket rather fancied travelling First Class. So she picked up
her hand luggage and went and found a seat in First Class and
settled herself down for the journey. The chief stewardess saw
her move and went to check her ticket and said "I'm sorry
madam you cant sit in this seat seat with this ticket. "
But the woman said " I'm blonde, I'm gorgeous and I'm going
to Melbourne in this seat" The stewardess, rather exasperated,
went to the pilot and told him what had happened. The co-pilot
with a wink said "let me talk to her, I'll make her move"
so he went up and said what the stewadess had said. But the woman
said "I'm blonde, I'm gorgeous and I'm going to Melbourne
in this seat". So the co-pilot went back and reported that
the woman still would not move. "what should we do"
he said.
The pilot then said "let me have one last attempt at getting
her to move" .So he went up to the woman, whispered something
in her ear. She immediately said "oh, I'm sorry, I didn't
realise" and got up and went back to Economy class.
The co-pilot and stewardess were amazed and asked the pilot what
he had said. "oh, it was easy" he replied, "I just
told her that First Class didn't go to Melbourne !! "

sarcastic voice: 'Yeah, right.'
