Just a (virtual) giggle - it is Sunday, innit?

Customer: "Tell me, is there a spray I can buy for my computer?"

Tech Support: "Er, I beg your pardon?"

Customer: "You know, a spray -- one that I can spray the inside of my computer with."

Tech Support: "What sort of spray are we talking about here?  

I thought perhaps you might have seen someone use a can of compressed air to clean out a machine and mistook it for some sort of spray...">>>

Have a little giggle - it's Sunday!

Tech Support: What's on your monitor now, ma'am?

Customer: A teddy bear that my boyfriend bought for

                me on Saturday. Why?

You can download this app anytime...

Customer: My keyboard is not working anymore.

Tech Support: Are you sure your keyboard is plugged

                into the computer?

Customer: No.  I can't get behind the computer.

Tech Support: Pick up your keyboard and take ten

                steps backwards.

Customer: Okay.

Tech Support: Did the keyboard come with you?

Customer: Yes.

Tech Support: That means the keyboard is not plugged

                in.  Is there another keyboard?

Customer: Yes, there's another one here.  Wait a

                moment please. . . . . . .  Ah, that one does work.

                Thanks.

Great problem-solving management chart

We were inspired by Sue's post on Facebook. This is the kind of chart Prospero has always had to work with - and it works! (Can't you tell?) Have a nice Sunday...

We needed this like we need a dose of badly cooked dough

You remember the Pillsbury Doghboy, don't you? ... No? Well, you might not, as he was supposed to have died in March 2009 at the ripe old age of 71, according to numerous obituaries. Trouble is, one of our Dear Readers has discovered that the ubuquitous spokesthing for Pillsbury never did die at all, at all.You may well ask why we raise the matter in the first place and we can't really answer you. The truth is that our good friend CraftyPip does thoroughly enjoy a good pun or twelve, and is a highly developed punologist with a twisted sense of humour (but we love 'im anyway). Here goes:>>>

It is Sunday but we're not sure if we should laugh or cry

This came in via e-mail from a regular contributor who wishes to remain anonymous. Thing is, it would be funny if it weren't so sad that people like this think they should police the world. YouTube is full of 'stupid Americans' (and quite a few 'stupid Brits', not to mention other stupid nationalities) and even discussion groups and book presentations of titles like 'How Stupid Are We?' (the American edition) as though ignorance were something to be proud of.

Sunday it is, so Sunday we laugh...

Bet you wondered why we keep getting those oh-so-damned-annoying little light cuts. The real reason is that Endesa, our favourite electricity company, has hardly anyone checking their lines anywhere near where there may be problems. Needless to say, the pylons are delighted.

It must be Sunday but are we supposed to laugh?

Engineering Question (this is really for non-engineers like us): Conditions: A backhoe weighing 22 tons is on top of a lowboy trailer and heading east on Interstate 70 near Hays, Kansas . The extended shovel arm is made of hardened refined steel and the approaching overpass is made of commercial-grade concrete, reinforced with 1 inch steel rebar spaced at 6 inch intervals in a criss-cross pattern layered at 1 foot vertical spacing. Solve: When the shovel arm hits the overpass, how fast do you have to be going to slice the bridge in half ? (Assume no effect for headwind and no braking by the driver.) Extra Credit: Solve for the time and distance Required for the entire rig to come to a complete stop after hitting the overpass at the speed calculated above. Yes, you can neglect friction... (See below for answer)

It's Sunday. Shall we laugh?

Thank you, Wendy for this! As you say: How true! As with all good comedy, there is always a measure of truth.

Isa domingo, better we laugh

Yes, well. That classroom is fuller than most of the many we've seen in Spain with Brits trying to learn Spanish... Still, it's from the 70s show Mind your Language, so maybe we need to do some catching up. Any ideas for a similar show in ViceVersa?

Is Sunday innit?

This wasn't sent in by anybody, but it reminds us unendearingly of so many people we know in these parts ... So instead of sitting there feeling insulted (we hope not) why don't you send in your own choice? Just write a comment below or send an e-mail (see the sidebars) with a comment (optional) about why you think your item is funny.

This is Sunday, you gotta laugh!

 

It is probably Sunday, so perhaps we ought to laugh

From 1989, these are comedy versions of 4 popular adverts of the day (zit cream, Hamlet cigars, Yellow Pages, and British Airways). It's up to you if you laugh, of course... we'll just try to keep a straight face.

You just gotta laugh!

Well, it's Sunday and, while you're unlikely to never have heard of Heidi, we just thought you should know that she is being touted as the latest replacement for Poor Ole Paul, the octopus of World Cup fame (he foretold Spain's victory). Now ABC's Jimmy Kimmel Live show will be featuring this unfortunate inmate of Leipzig Zoo, to forecast the winners of the Oscars. Sounds like a long night for Heidi ... wait a minute, a possum's a night creature, so no probs. (Another minute: i it 'possum' or 'opossum'? Does it matter?)

It's Sunday innit? Let's have a laugh!
