Attending
a wedding for the first time, a little girl whispered
to her mother, "Why is the bride dressed in white?"
"Because white is the color of happiness and today
is the happiest day of her life," her mother tried
to explain, keeping it simple.
The child thought about this for a moment, then said,
"So, why's the groom wearing black?"

Several weeks after a young man had been hired, he
was called into the personnel director's office.
"What is the meaning of this?" the director asked.
"When you applied for this job, you told us you had
five years experience. Now we discovered this is the
first job you've ever held.
" "Well," the young man replied, "in your advertisement
you said you wanted somebody with imagination."

The PC's Prayer
Our Program, who art in memory
Hello be thy name
Thy Operating system come,
Thy command be done,
At the printers as they are on the screen
Give us this day our daily data
And forgive us our errors
As we forgive those whose logic circuits are faulty
Lead us not into frustration
And deliver us from power surges
For thine is the algorithm, the application and the
solution
Looping for ever and ever
Return.
