Another one that's making the rounds in certain circles: (Did that make any sense?)

If a packet hits a pocket on a socket on a port, and the bus is
interrupted at a very last resort, and the access 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!

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, 'cuz sure as
I'm a poet, the sucker's gonna hang.

When the copy on your floppy's getting sloppy in the disk, and the
macro code instructions is causing unnecessary
risk, then you'll have to flash the memory and you'll want to RAM
your ROM, and then quickly turn off the computer
and be sure to tell your Mom!

You know I love it, Asa!

Ohhhh, Kalleh, you ARE easily entertained, aren't you!

Recirculating again, I see. It was presented as "Dr. Seuss in the Twentieth Century" the last time it came around, as I recall.

That's funny, I have never thought about it before, but there is a similarity between G&S and Dr. Seuss, isn't there? I used to love Dr. Seuss, as well...memorizing entire books!

And, yes, Asa, I have always been easily entertained, a cheap date, so to speak! My mother used to offer to cook us anything for our birthday dinners, and my siblings would go for the moon. Me...I'd ask for hash or meatloaf! [Though, I have improved a bit with age! As you are well aware, I favor a Fuller's 1845 over a Bud. ]

I favor a Fuller's 1845 over a Bud.
-------------------------------
Wellll, lessee - I'm familiar with the Fuller Brush Man, and with Fuller Paints. As for "Bud," are you referring to the Czech beer that's been brewed for over half a millineum?

The term "Bud", and the name "Budweiser" is owned by Anheuser Busch in the USA and thus the brewers of the orginal Budweiser, the Czech company Budvar, are not able to use the name here. Thus in the USA, "BUD" means the foul chemical concoctions from A-B. Thus the Czech beer is sold in the USA as Czechvar.

In spite of A-B's many attempts to bully the various national courts, in most of Europe, A-B are not able to use the name Budweiser and thus they call their product something else - Bud Beer, for instance. Only in the UK can both drinks be sold side-by-side as Budweiser. Our House of Lords threw out their last application to prevent Budvar from using the name Budweiser and told A-B, with uncharacteristic asperity, to stop wasting the courts' time and to "go away and never come back"!

Amazingly the A-B rubbish often costs more than the Czech in spite of the fact that A-B's is brewed in London and Budvar's is imported from Czechoslovakia.

Having said which, I prefer ales to lagers and thus prefer 1845 to real Budweiser, even though real Budweiser is a good drink of its sort.
