Windows 3.1. for Macintosh…

I heard that Microsoft is going to come out with a version of Windows for the MacIntosh. I can imagine what the advertisements will be:

Are you tired of the user-friendliness of your MacIntosh? Then get Microsoft Windows for MacIntosh, featuring limited on-line help and poor documentation!

Why settle for intuitive keyboard commands when you can have confusing F-key combinations? But dont take our word for it–here are some satisfied customers:

I couldnt stand all the easy drag-and-click commands on my MacIntosh. Now I can do everything with wordy commands that only work on one file or directory at a time!
— Goober McLeod, IBM user for 15 years

I hated the automatic startup files. Now, I can go back to my autoexec.bat file and pray Ive got everything set up right! Plus, MS-Windows even disabled the Find File command, so I can search all my directories by hand to find those utilities I lost!
— Joey Boring, still using a VT-52

Whats with these 30-odd letter file names? I like MS-Windows much better; it only lets me use eight characters! Thanks for clearing up the confusion!
— Mark Rodgers, who thinks HP calculators are easy to use

By using the Memory Mismanagment(TM) utility, I can have my computer ignore the 32 MB of RAM its got and only see 640K of it! Just like the good old days!
— Horace Kludge, using the leading edge of technology on his WANG

Multi-tasking? Who needs it? When I run a program, I want it FINISHED before starting another one! And MS-Windows lets me do just that!
— Donald Hapershnalzik, still programming in COBOL

All those fonts on my MacIntosh keep confusing me. But with MS-Windows theres only one! My word processor is much easier to use now that I have no choice on the font!
— Larry Linkworm, still confused by his VCR

MS-Windows even disabled the control panels! Once again, my speaker is set at full volume, and I have no choice on how the displays look! That gives me lots more time to run the limited programs that work under Windows!
— Marty Halfgear, who is fascinated by bright and shiny objects

And look at the other options available:

Non-standard keyboard commands. Its much more fun to learn new commands with each new program you get, right?
Different system requirements for each program, requiring a reboot each time!
The 3.3 option, which forces you to partition your hard drive into 10MB segments!
Limited mouse support!

MS-Windows for MacIntosh. For De-Evolutionary people.

Marriage is …

Marriage is a three ring circus: engagement ring, wedding ring, and suffering.
Marriage is bliss. Ignorance is bliss. Therefore …
Marriage is not a word; it is a sentence.
Marriage is the triumph of imagination over intelligence. Second marriage is the triumph of hope over experience.
Marriage is when a man and woman become as one; the trouble starts when they try to decide which one.
Marriages are made in heaven. But so again, are thunder and lightning.
Before marriage, a man yearns for the woman he loves. After marriage, the Y becomes silent.
Do not marry a person that you know that you can live with; only marry someone that you cannot live without.
I had some words with my wife, and she had some paragraphs with me.
If you want your spouse to listen and pay strict attention to every word you say, talk in your sleep.
Love is blind. Marriage is an institution for the blind.

Mathematical lyrics This poem was written by Jon Saxton (an author of math textbooks).

((12 + 144 + 20 + (3 * 4^(1/2))) / 7) + (5 * 11) = 9^2 + 0

Or for those who have trouble with the poem:

A Dozen, a Gross and a Score,

plus three times the square root of four,

divided by seven,

plus five times eleven,

equals nine squared and not a bit more.


Tis a favorite project of mine

A new value of pi to assign.

I would fix it at 3

For its simpler, you see,

Than 3 point 1 4 1 5 9.

(The Lure of the Limerick by W.S. Baring-Gould, p.5. Attributed to Harvey L. Carter).


If inside a circle a line

Hits the center and goes spine to spine

And the lines length is d

the circumference will be

d times 3.14159


If (1+x) (real close to 1)

Is raised to the power of 1

Over x, you will find

Heres the value defined:
2.718281…


Heres a limerick – looks better on paper.


/3
/
| 2 3 x 3.14 3_
| z dz x cos( ----------) = ln (/e )
| 9
/
1

Which, of course, translates to:

Integral z-squared dz

from 1 to the square root of 3

times the cosine

of three pi over 9

equals log of the cube root of e.

And its correct, too.

Your horse wears shoes, but

Your horse wears shoes, but you dont.

It doesnt bother you when you walk through a barn barefooted.

You name your twin boys Jack and Daniel.

Elderly spinster

An elderly spinster called the lawyers office and told the
receptionist she wanted to see the lawyer about having a will
prepared.

The receptionist suggested they set up an appointment for a convenient time for the spinster to come into the office.

The woman replied, You must understand, Ive lived alone all my
life, I rarely see anyone, and I dont like to go out. Would it
be possible for the lawyer to come to my house?

The receptionist checked with the attorney who agreed and he went
to the spinsters home for the meeting to discuss her estate and
the will.

The lawyers first question was,
Would you please tell me what
you have in assets and how youd like them to be distributed
under your will?

She replied, Besides the furniture and accessories you see here,
I have $40,000 in my savings account at the bank.

Tell me, the lawyer asked, how would you like the $40,000 to
be distributed?

The spinster said, Well, as Ive told you, Ive lived a reclusive life, people have hardly ever noticed me, so Id like them to notice when I pass on. Id like to provide $35,000 for my funeral.

The lawyer remarked, Well, for $35,000 you will be able to have
a funeral that will certainly be noticed and will leave a lasting
impression on anyone who may not have taken much note of you!
But tell me, he continued, what would you like to do with the
remaining $5,000?

The spinster replied, As you know, Ive never married, Ive lived alone almost my entire life, and in fact Ive never slept with a man. Id like you to use the $5,000 to arrange for a man to sleep with me.

This is a very unusual request, the lawyer said, adding, but
Ill see what I can do to arrange it and get back to you.

That evening, the lawyer was at home telling his wife about the
eccentric spinster and her weird request. After thinking about
how much she could do around the house with $5,000, and with a
bit of coaxing, she got her husband to agree to provide the service himself.

She said, Ill drive you over tomorrow morning, and wait in the car until youre finished.

The next morning, she drove him to the spinsters house and waited while he went into the house. She waited for over an hour, but her husband didnt come out. So she blew the car horn.

Shortly, the upstairs bedroom window opened, the lawyer stuck his
head out and yelled, Pick me up tomorrow, shes going to let the
County bury her!
