 These engineering and science tech-centric
jokes, song parodies, anecdotes and assorted humor have been collected from friends
and websites across the Internet. I check back occasionally for new fodder, but
it seems all the old content is reappearing all over (like this is). The humor is
light-hearted and clean and sometimes slightly assaultive to the easily-offended,
so you are forewarned. It is all workplace-safe.
Humor #1,
#2, #3
Costello: Hey, Abbott!
Abbot: Yes, Lou? Costello: I just got my first computer. Abbot: That's great Lou. What did
you get? Costello: A Pentium II-266, with 40 Megs of RAM, a 2.1 Gig hard drive, and a 24X CD-ROM.
Abbot: That's terrific, Lou. Costello: But I don't know what any of it means!!
Abbot: You will in time. Costello: That's exactly why I am here to see you. Abbot: Oh?
Costello: I heard that you are a real computer expert. Abbot: Well, I don't know- Costello:
Yes-sir-ee. You know your stuff. And you're going to train me.
Abbot: Really? Costello: Uh huh. And I am here for my first lesson. Abbot: O.K. Lou. What do
want to know? Costello: I am having no problem turning it on, but I heard that you should be very careful
how you turn it off. Abbot: That's true.
Costello: So, here I am working on my new computer and I want to turn it off. What do I do?
Abbot: Well, first you press the Start button, and then- Costello: No, I told you, I want to turn
it off. Abbot: I know, you press the Start button- Costello: Wait a second. I want to turn it off.
Off. I know how to start it. So tell me what to do.
Abbot: I did. Costello: When? Abbot: When I told you to press the Start button.
Costello: Why should I press the Start button? Abbot: To shut off the computer.
Costello: I press Start to stop. Abbot: Well Start doesn't actually stop the computer.
Costello: I knew it! So what do I press. Abbot: Start Costello: Start what? Abbot:
Start button. Costello: Start button to do what? Abbot: Shut down. Costello: You don't
have to get rude! Abbot: No, no, no! That's not what I meant. Costello: Then say what you mean.
Abbot: To shut down the computer, press-
Costello: Don't say, "Start!" Abbot: Then what do you want me to say?
Costello: Look, if I want to turn off the computer, I am willing to press the Stop button, the End button
and Cease and Desist button, but no one in their right mind presses the Start to Stop. Abbot: But that's
what you do. Costello: And you probably Go at Stop signs, and Stop at green lights. Abbot: Don't be
ridiculous. Costello: I am being ridiculous? Well. I think it's about time we started this conversation.
Abbot: What are you talking about? Costello: I am starting this conversation right now. Good-bye.
