Old and New Jokes

[Ed: Inspired by the recent discussion on how to get a computer that blows
up the way movie computers do. ]

A small step was taken toward this end back in the early sixties, in IBMs
System/360 model 30 CE school. Seems one of the better students had time
enough to pore over the schematics and discover which cores (remember core
memory?) were located just beneath the overtemp sensor. He wrote a small
program that did nothing but abuse those particular cores by writing ones
and zeroes alternately to them, until they heated up, and the temperature
sensor shut down the machine.

First, of course, the program printed out Programmed Power Down on the
console. Caused a lot of bewilderment among the students and instructors.
Especially since the big feature being touted about the S/360 was that it
was so oriented to multiprogramming that it didnt even have a HALT
instruction.

This political joke is from the book From Beirut to Jerusalem, by
Thomas Friedman.

A minister goes to the Syrian dictator Hafez Assad after a national election.

vote in the election! Less than 2 percent of the people dissented!
What more could you possibly want?

Assad: Their names.

There was this blonde girl who had gotten fed up with blonde jokes, so she decided to dye her hair black.

So she did, and she was sooooo happy with it that she went to her car and drove around just to show off her new look. She was coming up to this intersection when she saw a shepeherd by the road waiting to cross with his flock of lambs. The girl stopped and waved him to pass.

While the flock was crossing the road, she asked the shepherd – If I can guess how many sheep you got there, would you give me one?

He thought about the offer for a minute and decided it was ok. The girl looked at the flock and exclaimed 487. The shepherd said WOW! Thats right…well…take any sheep you like…a deals a deal

So she gets the animal and happily puts him in the back of her car, when the shepehrd says WAIT!

Now I have a deal for you…. if I guess the real color of your hair can I have my dog back?

Snake 1 – I hope my bite isnt poisonous.Snake 2 – Why?Snake 1 – Because I just bit my tongue!
