Reminds me of the old joke about the East and West Germans.Vanadium 50 said:As Garry Kasparov once said,
"Every country has its own mafia."
"In Soviet Russia, mafia has its own country!"
And, to be fair:
"In Soviet Russia, people sometimes rob banks."
"In America, bank robs you!"

In the early nineties there was a report in the newspaper that someone in the US shot his monitor out of frustration about the then frequently occurring bluescreen.jack action said:"All parts should go together without forcing. You must remember that the parts you are reassembling were disassembled by you. Therefore, if you can't get them together again, there must be a reason. By all means, do not use a hammer."

No. The error is the screwdriver. It had to be a hex key.etotheipi said:Man on the left looks way too nonchalant. 3 hours later he will be crying over the instruction manual trying to figure out where the 163rd screw for his Swedish Poäng chair is.
On another note, the numbers look a little off. Are those 5 chair legs?

There's a couple near here who have mobility scooters bearing the signs "Beauty" and "Beast".WWGD said:

The variant on the shooting-the-computer story I heard was about someone bringing in an early iMac with a gunshot wound and wanting it fixed. It so happened that the hard drive was along the bottom of the case in that model, and it had escaped unscathed. So they simply swapped the hard drive into a new machine and sold the new machine, billing it as a repair...etotheipi said:Did it fix it though?
Oh, b*gger! I really liked those as a child but I'd completely forgotten about them. Hmmm, where can I get some...WWGD said:[synonym rolls...]

Reminds me of the kid who thought Jesus had a funny looking teddy bear called Gladly, because of the hymn "Gladly, thy cross-eyed bear".jtbell said:Here's one from my father, a long time ago:
A first-grade teacher asked her pupils to draw a picture about a song they knew. One boy drew a person lying in bed with little animals crawling all over him. Puzzled, the teacher asked, "what song is that?"
The boy replied, "Mice on John."
The teacher was still puzzled, so the boy sang:
Diddle diddle dumpling, mice on John,
Went to bed with his trousers on;
One shoe off and one shoe on,
Diddle diddle dumpling, mice on John.
