inquiry Posted March 8, 2006 Report Share Posted March 8, 2006 StrongBad and other cartoons.. .seehttp://www.homestarrunner.com/toons.html It might help to know the characters... seehttp://www.homestarrunner.com/characters2.html for an introduction to the players... play the tapes of at least Strong Bad, Homestar runner, the cheat before delving too far into the toons. Also, watch for subtle humor like the VCR flashing 12:00 on this page.. and there are hidden things you can push on many screens to see extras (especially at the end of strong bad toons...if you mouse over a place and the pointer changes to a finger...that is clickable)....

Walddk Posted March 14, 2006 Report Share Posted March 14, 2006 This is not new (WP reveals it) but it has got to be the funniest story I have heard in a long time. It's a true story, and I think this guy should have been promoted, not fired. Actual dialogue of a former WordPerfect Customer Support employee (now I know why they record these conversations)! "Ridge Hall, computer assistance; May I help you"? "Yes, well, I'm having trouble with WordPerfect". "What sort of trouble"? "Well, I was just typing along, and all of a sudden the words went away". "Went away"? "They disappeared". "Hmm. So what does your screen look like now"? "Nothing". "Nothing"? "It's blank; it won't accept anything when I type". "Are you still in WordPerfect, or did you get out"? "How do I tell"? "Can you see the C: prompt on the screen"? "What's a sea-prompt"? "Never mind, can you move your cursor around the screen"? "There isn't any cursor: I told you, it won't accept anything I type". "Does your monitor have a power indicator"? "What's a monitor"? "It's the thing with the screen on it that looks like a TV. Does it have a little light that tells you when it's on"? "I don't know". "Well, then look on the back of the monitor and find where the power cord goes into it. Can you see that"? "Yes, I think so". "Great. Follow the cord to the plug, and tell me if it's plugged into the wall". "Yes, it is". "When you were behind the monitor, did you notice that there were two cables plugged into the back of it, not just one"? "No". "Well, there are. I need you to look back there again and find the other cable". "Okay, here it is". "Follow it for me, and tell me if it's plugged securely into the back of your computer". "I can't reach". "Uh huh. Well, can you see if it is"? "No". "Even if you maybe put your knee on something and lean way over"? "Oh, it's not because I don't have the right angle - it's because it's dark". "Dark"? "Yes, the office light is off, and the only light I have is coming in from the window". "Well, turn on the office light then". "I can't". "No? Why not"? "Because there's a power failure". "A power... A power failure? Aha, okay, we've got it licked now. Do you still have the boxes and manuals and packing stuff your computer came in"? "Well, yes, I keep them in the closet". "Good. Go get them, and unplug your system and pack it up just like it was when you got it. Then take it back to the store you bought it from". "Really? Is it that bad"? "Yes, I'm afraid it is". "Well, all right then, I suppose. What do I tell them"? "Tell them you're too #%^?/ stupid to own a computer"!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sceptic Posted March 15, 2006 Report Share Posted March 15, 2006 Two deaf people get married. During the first week ofmarriage, they find that they are unable tocommunicate in the bedroom when they turn off thelights because they can't see each other using signlanguage. After several nights of fumbling around andmisunderstandings, the wife decides to find asolution. "Honey," she signs, "Why don't we agree onsome simple signals? For instance, at night, if youwant to have sex with me, reach over and squeeze myleft breast one time. If you don't want to have sex,reach over and squeeze my right breast one time." The husband thinks this is a great idea and signs backto his wife, "Great idea, now if you want to have sexwith ME, reach over and pull on my penis one time. Ifyou don't want to have sex, reach over and pull on mypenis... fifty times!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
