Dr. Seuss
What if Dr. Seuss Did Technical Training Manuals?
Here's an easy game to play.
Here's an easy thing to say:
If a packet hits a pocket
on a socket on a port,
And the bus is interrupted as a very last resort,
And the address of the memory
makes your floppy disk abort
Then the socket packet pocket has an error to report!
If your cursor finds a menu item
followed by a dash,
And the double-clicking icon
puts your window in the trash,
And your data is corrupted `cause the index doesn't hash,
Then your situation's hopeless,
and your system's gonna crash!
You can't say this?
What a shame, sir!
We'll find you
Another game, sir.
If the label on the cable
on the table at your house
Says the network is connected
to the button on your mouse,
But your packets want to tunnel
to another protocol,
That's repeatedly rejected
by the printer down the hall.
And your screen is all distorted by the side effects of gauss
So your icons in the window
are as wavy as a souse,
Then you may as well reboot
and go out with a bang,
`Cause as sure as I'm a poet,
the sucker's gonna hang!
When the copy of your floppy's
getting sloppy on the disk,
And the microcode instructions cause unnecessary risk,
Then you have to flash your memory
and you'll want to RAM your ROM.
Quickly turn off the computer
and be sure
to tell your mom.

Sparkie, that's brilliant. Had me in stitches. How long did it take you to come up with it?

If she did then I am very impressed indeed.Adobe Certified Coldfusion MX 7 Developer

No no no, I didn't come up with it
I found a disk of computer jokes that I had saved from ages ago, and upon reading this one, I thought the community might enjoy it

Well at least you admitted it - says something for your scruples!
Have you ever written anything like that though? I love that kind of stuff and have written the odd bit myself - not about pc's though.Saz: Naturally Blonde, Naturally Dizzy!
