Y2K humor
All my cyberfriends know how seriously I an taking the Y2K problem, and I guess they try to cheer me up or maybe they are sending all this Y2K humor to me as a way of getting me to be less concerned. I love the humor and hope they keep sending the jokes and humor. I am adding them for your enjoyment. they were probably found on the web and I have no idea who to credit the jokes authorship to. If you find your joke here, let me know and I will give you the credit or remove it
To the Board of Directors:
Our staff has completed the 18 months of work on time and on budget. We have gone through
every line of code in every program in every system. We have analyzed all databases, all
data files, including backups and historic archives, and modified all data to reflect the
change.
We are proud to report that we have completed the "Y-to-K" date change mission,
and have now implemented all changes to all programs and all data to reflect your new
standards:
as well as:
I trust that this is satisfactory, because to be honest, none of this Y-to-K problem
has made any sense to me. But I understand it is a global problem, and our team is glad to
help in any way possible. And what does the Year 2000 have to do with it? Speaking of
which, what do you think we ought to do next year when the two digit year rolls over from
99 to 00?
We'll await your further direction.
