Computer problems

As we Silver Surfers know, sometimes we have trouble with our computers. I had a problem yesterday, I have one of these acer laptop computers, so I called Eric, the 11 year old next door, whose bedroom looks like Mission Control and asked him to come over.

Eric clicked a couple of buttons and solved the problem.As he was walking away, I called after him, ‘So, what was wrong?

He replied, ‘It was an ID ten T error.’

I didn’t want to appear stupid, but nonetheless inquired,’An, ID ten T error? What’s that? In case I need to fix it again.’

Eric grinned…. ‘Haven’t you ever heard of an ID ten T error before?

‘No,’ I replied.

‘Write it down,’ he said, ‘and I think you’ll figure it out.’

So I wrote down:

ID10T

I used to like Eric, the little bastard..

Cheeky Memos Parking Notes

I’ve been looking for these for ages, ever since I saw one parked on a car. They contain a memo that says: ‘THANKS!… FOR PARKING SO CLOSE. NEXT TIME LEAVE A FUCKING CAN-OPENER SO I CAN GET MY CAR OUT. ARSEHOLES LIKE YOU SHOULD TAKE A BUS.’ Now, I’m sure you can think of a situation when one of these would have been useful for you. You know, when some idiot parks right up to you and you just can’t move one way or the other. Well, I’ve been looking for these for ages and might just get myself a pad of cheeky memos for Christmas.

Its from the funny gifts section at Find Me A Gift, where they have an entire section devoted to the funniest gifts you could fine this side of Christmas. From Yo Mama Toilet Roll all the way to the Inflatable Boob Pillow; you’re bound to find something that will please just about anyone.

The Best Salesman ever

The Devil tells a salesman who specialised in snow chains for trucks, “Look, I can make you richer, more famous, and more successful than any salesman alive. In fact, I can make you the greatest salesman that ever lived.”

“Well,” says the salesman, “what do I have to do in return?”

The Devil smiles, “Well, of course you have to give me your soul,” he says, “but you also have to give me the souls of your children, the souls of your children’s children and, as a matter of fact, you have to give me the souls of all your descendants throughout eternity.”

“Wait a minute,” the salesman says cautiously, “What’s the catch?”
