Hello Again: Joke of the day

by floodge @ 2006-12-14 - 13:00:04

Hello Again.
I have been away from blogging for a few months - my mother board on the computer blew and I had to wait 3 months for an engineer to come out and fix it- meanwhile calling 0845 numbers for up to 1.5 hours trying to get through to said engineer- so that I could get it fixed on the extended warranty I was practically forced into buying when I purchased the computer. But whey hey I am back and running- apparently it was my keyboard that has caused pc illness- and although they could fix the pc they were not responsible for the keyboard- but engineer was very nice ( ha!) and offered me an old keyboard form the back of his van. When he plugged it in I realised that I was missing the letter M, N, @ and E, I mean E for goodness sake- but I pulled the F buttons off and put them in strategic places. until I can get to Tescos where apparently their about £4.00.

But in honour of my Computer I have a themed Joke of the day

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 paycheck on accessories for it.

(THIS GETS BETTER!)
The women's group, however, concluded that computers should be masculine ("el 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, the 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
