Monday Morning Chuckle...

Well, I'm not sure if this is funny or not. Maybe more true than funny for some...

But, Walt gave me a big NYUK this Monday morning in the computer letter box, and I figured I'd pass it along to y'all.

A guy is stranded on a desert island all alone for ten years.

One day he sees a speck on the horizon. He thinks to himself, 'It's not a ship.' The speck gets a little closer and he thinks, 'It's not a boat.' The speck gets even closer and he thinks, 'It's not a raft.' Then, out of the surf comes this gorgeous blonde woman wearing a wet suit and scuba gear.

She comes up to the guy and she says, 'How long has it been since you've had a cigarette?' 'Ten years!', he says. She reaches over, unzips this waterproof pocket on her left sleeve and pulls out a pack of fresh cigarettes. He takes one, lights it, takes a long drag and says, 'Man, oh man! Is that good!' Then she asked, 'How long has it been since you've had a drink of whiskey? He replies, 'Ten years!' She reaches over, unzips her waterproof pocket on the right, pulls out a flask and gives it to him. He takes a long swig and says, 'Wow! That's fantastic!

Then she starts unzipping this long zipper that runs down the front of her wet suit and she says to him, 'And how long has it been since you've had some REAL fun?'

And the man replies, My God! Don't tell me you've got a computer in there?

  1. Andy, back about four careers ago, when I was still young, energetic and confident that I could do anything, I decided to put cartoons on our monthly magazine on disk for the Macintosh, called "Diskworld." So I sent word out through the fledgling precursor to the intrwbz, a think called "Usenet" to find technically oriented cartoons.

    I got several replies, but the only one I thought was decent enough to publish was some unknown technical project manager working at the phone company in California. His name was "Scott Adams" or something like that. Anyway he sent me these cartoons, some of which I had previously seen floating around Usenet.

    I liked the cartoons, so I sent him a letter with our standard submission fees and contract, and he refused to accept the pittance I was offering him.

    So, left to my own devices, I decided that I'd draw my own cartoons. The first cartoon I drew was one called "Nerd Hell". It was a guy stranded on a desert island with a couple of hot chicks and a computer. But nowhere to plug the computer in.

    Get it? "Nerd hell." HAHAHAHAAH!!!

    I kill myself....

    So, see how your story here led me to that bit of reminescing?

    You don't?

    Oh well.

  3. Cosmic, I "GET IT" just fine. Funny, man...If you can scare up the 'toon, I'd like to see it.

    Yep! The interesting thing is that often some of ME that never viewed MYSELF as a nerd can morph...
