Guest guest Posted June 14, 2000 Report Share Posted June 14, 2000 Some relief for our candidates studying hard for exams... Vivekananda Centre London ======================================= Computers: Male OR Female? There was a debate in the class whether computers should be referred to as male of female. So, the teacher divided the class into 2 groups, one groups containing female students and the other group with male students. The debate was never settled, but here were the results found... The group of women reported that the computers should be referred to in the *masculine* gender because: - They have a lot of data, but are still clueless. - They are supposed to help you solve problems, but half the time they are the problem. - As soon as you commit to one, you realize that, if you had waited a little longer you could have had a better model. The men, on the other hand concluded that Computers should be referred to in the *feminine* gender because: - No one but the Creator understands their internal logic. - The native language they use to communicate with other computers is incomprehensible to everyone else. - Even your smallest mistakes are stored in long-term memory for retrieval. - As soon as you make a commitment to one, you find yourself spending half your paycheck on accessories for it. ========== " You're in incredibly fine condition, " the doctor concluded after finishing a thorough physical. " How old did you say you were, sir? " " Seventy-eight. " " Seventy-eight! Why, you have the health of a sixty-year-old. What's your secret? " " I guess, Doc, it's due to a pact the wife and I made when we got married. She promised that if she was ever about to lose her temper, she'd stay in the kitchen 'till she cooled off. And I pledged that when I got angry I'd keep quiet, too, and go outside until I calmed down. " " I don't understand, " said the doctor, " How could that help you stay so fit? " " Well, the patient explained, " I guess you could say I've lived an outdoor life. " =============== Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
