Didn't know whether to put this in Poetry or here ...... But I decided here

For the somewhat cybernetically challenged, it goes something like this (using the proper cyber-names):
Waka waka bang splat tick tick hash,
Caret quote back-tick dollar dollar dash,
Bang splat equal at dollar under-score,
Percent splat waka waka tilde number four,
Ampersand bracket bracket dot dot slash,
Vertical-bar curly-bracket comma comma CRASH

A Polish man moved to the USA and married an American girl.
Although his English was far from perfect, they got along very well until one day he rushed into a lawyer's office and asked him if he could arrange a divorce for him.
The lawyer said that getting a divorce could depend on the circumstances, and asked him the following questions:
"Have you any grounds?"
"Yes, an acre and half and nice little home."
"No, I mean what is the foundation of this case?"
"It made of concrete."
"I don't think you understand. Does either of you have a real grudge?"
"No, we have a carport, and not need one."
"I mean, what are your relations like?"
"All my relations still in Poland."
"Is there any infidelity in your marriage?"
"We have hi-fidelity stereo and good DVD player."
"Does your wife beat you up?"
"No, I always up before her."
"Is your wife a nagger?"
"No, she white."
"Why do you want this divorce?"
"She is going to kill me."
"What makes you think that?"
"I got proof."
"What kind of proof?"
"She is going to poison me. She bought a bottle at drugstore and put on shelf in bathroom. I can read, and it says: 'Polish Remover'."

Hmmm...but I liked the computer poem!
The following is not a joke but a story from a book I'm reading called `Fly Navy' which relates tales told by RNAS pilots flying from aircraft carriers between 1945 and 2000. It's supposed to be a true story.
Pilots generally flew their `own' aircraft. On landing, one of them was asked by the ground crew chief, "Everything OK Sir?".
"No, Chief", said the pilot "Radio's not working". The Chief checked it.
After the next flight, "All OK, sir?"
"No, radio still not working", said the pilot, so the Chief checked again.
Once again, after the next flight, "Radio working OK sir?".
"No! It's useless", said the pilot, irritated.
"I think the problem", said the Chief, "must lie between the headphones..."

My mate David Moore had the same problem during his flying days. When he eventually found the airfield and landed he couldn't understand why everyone was laughing. Then he realised he had his helmet on back to front so the earphones weren't next to his ears!

This arrived by mail this morning;
There was a man who worked for the Post Office whose job was to process all the mail that had illegible addresses.
One day, a letter came addressed in a shaky handwriting to God with no actual address. He thought he should open it to see what it was about.
The letter read:
Dear God,
I am an 83 year old widow, living on a very small pension.
Yesterday someone stole my purse. It had £100 in it, which was all the money I had until my next pension payment.
Next Sunday is Christmas, and I had invited two of my friends over for dinner. Without that money, I have nothing to buy food with, have no family to turn to, and you are my only hope.. Can you please help me?
Sincerely, Edna
The postal worker was touched.. He showed the letter to all the other workers. Each one dug into his or her wallet and came up with a few pounds.
By the time he made the rounds, he had collected \u00a396, which they put into an envelope and sent to the woman.
The rest of the day, all the workers felt a warm glow thinking of Edna and the dinner she would be able to share with her friends.
Christmas came and went.
A few days later, another letter came from the same old lady to God.
All the workers gathered around while the letter was opened.
It read:
Dear God,
How can I ever thank you enough for what you did for me?
Because of your gift of love, I was able to fix a glorious dinner for my friends. We had a very nice day and I told my friends of your wonderful gift.
By the way, there was £4 missing.
I think it might have been those thieving bastards at the post office.
Sincerely, Edna

When honesty is not the best policy...
I was fighting with my computer, so I did the obvious - called in one of the kids. He tapped away at the keyborad for a minute and sorted out the problem. "So what caused it?" I asked. "Oh, just an old Task Warning IT error", he said breezily. "Meaning!" I demanded. "Jot down the initials," he grinned, disappearing to the video console in his room.
I did: "Old TWIT". Said it all, I suppose! (Duncan Shoesmith)
All thru the fields and meadows gay .... Enjoy
Take Care...Cathy |

I like it Cath! I had a TWIT just as I was finishing the last book. I was merrily adding pics to a 150mb text file when it suddenly refused to accept key strokes. A moment of panic, a ten minute dig and I found I had mistakenly entered a Ctrl +? keystroke that had made the doc 'read only'. Big sigh of relief and mental note.....

Three men died on Christmas Eve and were met by Saint Peter at the pearly gates.
'In honour of this holy season' Saint Peter said, 'You must each possess something that symbolizes Christmas to get into heaven.'
The man from Nova Scotia fumbled through his pockets and pulled out a lighter. He flicked it on. 'It represents a candle', he said.
'You may pass through the pearly gates' Saint Peter said.
The man from Saskatchewan reached into his pocket and pulled out a set of keys. He shook them and said, 'They're bells.'
Saint Peter said 'You may pass through the pearly gates'.
The Newfoundlander started searching desperately through his pockets and finally pulled out a pair of women's panties.
St. Peter looked at the man with a raised eyebrow and asked, 'And just what do those symbolize?'
The Newfie replied, 'These are Carols.'

Something went wrong with the anti-matter experiments at the Hadron Collider when Father Christmas got stuck in the big tunnel thinking it was a chimney. The result was Father Anti-Chistmas and he goes around taking away people's presents.

After my mediocre joke just above I listened to the Infinite Monkey Cage on Radio 4 (yes, there really is a programme with that title) and heard Alexei Sayle saying that he was brought up in a Marxist environment, so much so that he believed it was Lenin who came down the chimney at Christmas and he redistributed the presents!

How's this?
EVER SINCE I WAS A CHILD, I'VE ALWAYS HAD A FEAR OF SOMEONE
UNDER MY BED AT NIGHT. SO I WENT TO A SHRINK AND TOLD HIM
'I've got problems. Every time I go to bed I think there's somebody
under it. I'm scared. I think I'm going crazy.'
'Just put yourself in my hands for one year,' said the shrink. 'Come
talk to me three times a week and we should be able to get rid of
those fears...'
'How much do you charge?' 'Eighty dollars per visit,' replied the
doctor. 'I'll sleep on it,' I said.
Six months later the doctor met me on the street. 'Why didn't you
come to see me about those fears you were having?' he asked.
'Well, Eighty bucks a visit three times a week for a year is an awful
lot of money! A bartender cured me for $10.. I was so happy to have
saved all that money that I went and bought me a new pickup!'
'Is that so!' With a bit of an attitude he said, 'and how, may I ask,
did a bartender cure you?'
'He told me to cut the legs off the bed! - Ain't nobody under there now!!!
SCREW THOSE SHRINKS.. GO HAVE A DRINK &TALK TO YOUR BARTENDER!
