HUMOR: TECHNOLOGY: AND THEY SHALL INHERIT THE EARTH...
And they shall inherit the Earth...
I was busy writing some computer programs for one of my classes and my
roommate asked me if he could use my coffee maker. I said, "Sure." The
next thing I hear is, "Hey, where do you put the coffee?" I turn to see
that he has filled the filter basket with water and is (unsuccessfully)
trying to keep the water in the basket by plugging the hole at the
bottom with his finger. He and the floor are both covered with water.
I was at the airport, checking in at the gate, when the airport employee
asked, "Has anyone put anything in your baggage without your knowledge?"
I said, "If it was without my knowledge, how would I know?" He smiled
and nodded knowingly, "That's why we ask."
The stoplight on the corner buzzes when it is safe to cross the street.
I was crossing with an intellectually challenged co-worker of mine, when
she asked if I knew what the buzzer was for. I explained that it signals
to blind people when the light is red. She responded, appalled, "What on
earth are blind people doing DRIVING???"
At a goodbye lunch for an old and dear co-worker who is leaving the
company due to "rightsizing," our manager spoke up and said, "This is
fun. We should have lunch like this more often." Not another word was
spoken. We just looked at each other like deer staring into the
headlights of an approaching truck.
