away."

"They
disappeared."
"Hmm. So what does your screen look like
now?"
"Nothing."
"Nothing?"
"It's blank; it won't
accept (synonyms of word accept above)
anything when I type."
"Are you still in WordPerfect, or did you
get out?"
"How do I tell?"
"Can you see the C: prompt on
the screen?"

"Never mind. Can you
move the cursor around on the screen?"

I told you, it won't
accept (synonyms of word accept above) anything I
type."
"Does your
monitor have a power indicator?"
"What's a
monitor?"
"It's the thing with the screen on it that looks like a TV. Does it
have a little light that tells you when it's on?"
"I don't
know."
"Well then, look on the back of the monitor and find
where the power
cord goes into it. Can you see that?"
"Yes, I
think so."
"Great. Follow the cord to the plug, and tell me if
it's plugged into
the wall."
"... ...Yes, it
is."
"When you were behind the monitor, did you notice that there were two
cables plugged into the back of it, not just
one?"
"No."
"Well, there are. I need you to look back there again and find the
other cable."
"... ...Okay, here it is."
"Follow it
for me, and tell me if it's plugged securely into the back
of your
computer."
"I can't reach."
"Uh huh. Well, can you see
if it is?"
"No."
"Even if you maybe put your knee on
something and lean way over?"
"Oh, it's not because I don't have
the right angle - it's because
it's
dark."
"Dark?"
"Yes - the office light is off, and the only light I have is coming i
n
from the window."
"Well, turn on the office light
then."
"I can't."
"No? Why not?"
"Because there's a
power outage."
"A power... A power outage? Ah, Okay, we've got it
licked now. Do you
still have the boxes and manuals and packing
stuff your computer came
in?"
"Well, yes, I keep them in the
closet."
"Good. Go get them, and unplug your system and pack it up
just like it
was when you got it. Then take it back to the store
you bought it
from."
"Really? Is it that bad?"
"Yes,
I'm afraid it is."
"Well, all right then, I suppose. What do I
tell them?"
"Tell them you're too stupid to own a computer."

in New York City
and asks for the loan officer. She says she is going to
Europe on
business for two weeks and needs to borrow $5000.
The bank officer
says the bank will need some kind of security for such
a loan, so the
woman hands over the keys to a new Rolls Royce, parked
on the
street, in front of the bank.
Everything checks out, and the bank
agrees to
accept (synonyms of word accept above) the car as
collateral for the loan.
An
employee drives the Rolls into the bank's underground garage and
parks
it there.
Two weeks later, the woman returns, repays the $5000.
and the interest
which is $15.41.
The loan officer says,
"We are very happy to have had your business,
and this transaction
has worked out very nicely, but we are a little
puzzled. While you
were away, we checked you out and found that you are a
multimillionaire. What puzzles us , is why would you bother to borrow
$5000
?"
The woman replied, "Where else in New York, can I park my
car for 2
weeks for $15.00?"

modest home
near a junior high school. He spent the first few weeks
of his
retirement in peace and contentment. Then a new school year
began. The very
next afternoon three young boys, full of youthful,
after-school
enthusiasm, came down his street, beating merrily on
every trash can they
encountered. The crashing percussion continued
day after day, until finally
the wise old man decided it was time
to take some action.
The next afternoon, he walked out to meet
the young percussionists as
they banged their way down the street.
Stopping them, he said, "You
kids are a lot of fun. I like to see you
express your exuberance like
that. In fact, I used to do the same
thing when I was your age. Will you do
me a favor? I'll give you
each a dollar if you'll promise to come
around every day and do your
thing." The kids were elated and continued
to do a bang-up jo
b on the trash cans.
After a few days, the old-timer greeted
the kids again, but this time
he had a sad smile on his face.
"This recession's really putting a big dent in my income," he told
them. "From now on, I'll only be able to pay you 50 cents to beat on
the cans."
The noisemakers were obviously displeased, but
they did
accept (synonyms of word accept above) his
offer and continued their afternoon ruckus. A few
days later, the wily
retiree approached them again as they drummed
their way down the street.
"Look," he said, "I haven't received
my Social Security check yet,
so I'm not going to be able to give
you more than 25 cents. Will that
be okay?"
"A lousy
quarter?" the drum leader exclaimed. "If you think we're
going to waste
our time, beating these cans around for a quarter,
you're nuts! No
way, mister. We quit!"
And the old man enjoyed peace.
