Who's on First?  Computer Edition
« on: July 03, 2006, 01:12:39 PM »
If Bud Abbott and Lou Costello were alive today, their infamous sketch, "Who's on First?"  might have turned out something like this:

COSTELLO CALLS TO BUY A COMPUTER FROM  ABBOTT

ABBOTT: Super Duper computer store. Can I help  you?

COSTELLO: Yes, thanks. I'm setting up an office in my den and I'm  thinking about buying a computer.

ABBOTT: Mac?

COSTELLO: No,  the name's Lou.

ABBOTT: Your computer?

COSTELLO: I don't own a  computer. I want to buy one.

ABBOTT: Mac?

COSTELLO: I told you, my  name's Lou.

ABBOTT: What about Windows?

COSTELLO: Why? Will it get  stuffy in here?

ABBOTT: Do you want a computer with Windows?

COSTELLO: I don't know. What will I see when I look at the  windows?

ABBOTT: Wallpaper.

COSTELLO: Never mind the windows. I  need a computer and software.

ABBOTT: Software for  Windows?

COSTELLO: No. On the computer! I need something I can use to  write proposals and track expenses What do you have?

ABBOTT:  Office.

COSTELLO: Yeah, for my office. Can you recommend  anything?

ABBOTT: I just did.

COSTELLO: You just did  what?

ABBOTT: Recommend something.

COSTELLO: You recommended  something?

ABBOTT: Yes.

COSTELLO: For my office?

ABBOTT:  Yes.

COSTELLO: OK, what did you recommend for my office?

ABBOTT:  Office.

COSTELLO: Yes, for my office!

ABBOTT: I recommend Office  with Windows.

COSTELLO: I already have an office with windows! OK, let's  just say I'm sitting at my computer and I want to type a proposal. What do I  need?

ABBOTT: Word.

COSTELLO: What word?

ABBOTT: Word  in Office.

COSTELLO: The only word in office is office.

ABBOTT:  The Word in Office for Windows.

COSTELLO: Which word in office for  windows?

ABBOTT: The Word you get when you click the blue  "W".

COSTELLO: I'm going to click your blue "w" if you don't start with some straight answers. What about financial bookkeeping? You have anything I can track my money with?

ABBOTT: Money.

COSTELLO: That's  right. What do you have?

ABBOTT: Money.

COSTELLO: I need money to  track my money?

ABBOTT: It comes bundled with your  computer

COSTELLO: What's bundled with my computer?

ABBOTT:  Money.

COSTELLO: Money comes with my computer?

ABBOTT: Yes. No  extra charge.

COSTELLO: I get a bundle of money with my computer? How  much?

ABBOTT: One copy.

COSTELLO: Isn't it illegal to copy  money?

ABBOTT: Microsoft gave us a license to copy  Money.

COSTELLO: They can give you a license to copy  money?

ABBOTT: Why not? THEY OWN IT!

(A few days  later)

ABBOTT: Super Duper computer store. Can I help  you?

COSTELLO: How do I turn my computer off?

ABBOTT: Click on  "START"............
