Reasons why television is better than World Wide Web
1) It doesn’t take minutes to build the picture when you change TV channels.
2) The family never argues over which Website to visit this evening.
3) A remote control has fewer buttons than a keyboard.
4) Even the worst TV shows never excuse themselves with an “Under Construction” sign.
5) You can’t surf the Web from a couch with snacks in one hand and a fizzy drink in the other.
Just helping
A husband said to his wife, “Honey, I have invited a friend home for supper tonight.”
His wife replied, “What? Are you crazy? The house is a mess, I didn’t have time to go shopping, all the dishes are dirty, and I don’t feel like cooking a fancy meal tonight!”
The husband said, “I know all that.”
“Then why in the world did you invite your friend for supper tonight?” asked the wife.
The guy answered, “Because the poor fool is thinking about getting married.”
Error Messages in Japan
In Japan, they have replaced the impersonal and unhelpful Microsoft Error messages with Haiku poetry messages.
Haiku poetry has strict construction rules. Each poem has only three lines and 17 syllables: five syllables in the first line, seven in the second, and five in the third.
Haikus are used to communicate a timeless message, often achieving a powerful insight through extreme brevity.
Your file was too big.
It might be very useful.
But now it is gone.

Reflect, repent, and reboot.

Today it is not working.
Windows is like that.
