Thank you, Sharron Gill, for sharing this hilarious update on the famous Abbott and Costello routine “Who’s On First?”

You have to be old  enough to remember Abbott and Costello, and too
old to REALLY understand  computers to fully appreciate this. For
those of us who sometimes get flustered by our computers, please read on…

If  Bud Abbott and Lou Costello were alive today, their famous sketch,
‘Who’s on First? might have turned out something like  this:

COSTELLO CALLS TO BUY A COMPUTER FROM  ABBOTT

ABBOTT:  Super Duper computer store.  Can I help you?

COSTELLO: Thanks I’m setting up an office in my den and I’m thinking
about buying a computer.

ABBOTT: Mac?

COSTELLO: No, the name’s Lou.

ABBOTT: Your computer?

COSTELLO: I don’t own a computer. I want to buy  one.

ABBOTT:  Mac?

COSTELLO: I told you, my name’s Lou.

ABBOTT: What about Windows?

COSTELLO: Why? Will it get stuffy in here?

ABBOTT: Do you want a computer with Windows?

COSTELLO: I don’t know. What will I see when I look at the  windows?

ABBOTT:  Wallpaper.

COSTELLO: Never mind the windows.. I need a computer and  software.

ABBOTT:  Software for  Windows?

COSTELLO:  No. On the computer! I need  something I can use to write
proposals, track expenses and run my  business. What do you have?

ABBOTT: Office.

COSTELLO: Yeah, for my office. Can you recommend  anything?

ABBOTT:  I just did.

COSTELLO: You just did what?

ABBOTT: Recommend something.

COSTELLO: You recommended something?

ABBOTT: Yes..

COSTELLO: For my office?

ABBOTT: Yes..

COSTELLO: OK, what did you recommend for my office?

ABBOTT: Office.

COSTELLO: Yes, for my office!

ABBOTT: I recommend Office with Windows.

COSTELLO: I already have an office with windows! OK, let’s just say
I’m sitting at my computer and I want to type a proposal. What do I
need?

ABBOTT:  Word.

COSTELLO: What word?

ABBOTT: Word in Office.

COSTELLO: The only word in office is office.

ABBOTT: The Word in Office for Windows.

COSTELLO: Which word in office for windows?

ABBOTT: The Word you get when you click the blue  ’W’.

COSTELLO:  I’m going to click your blue  ’w’ if you don’t start with
some straight answers. What about financial  bookkeeping? You have
anything I can track my money with?

ABBOTT: Money.

COSTELLO: That’s right. What do you have?

ABBOTT: Money.

COSTELLO: I need money to track my money?

ABBOTT: It comes bundled with your computer.

COSTELLO: What’s bundled with my computer?

ABBOTT: Money.

COSTELLO: Money comes with my computer?

ABBOTT: Yes.. No extra charge.

COSTELLO: I get a bundle of money with my computer? How  much?

ABBOTT:  One copy.

COSTELLO: Isn’t it illegal to copy money?

ABBOTT: Microsoft gave us a license to copy Money.

COSTELLO: They can give you a license to copy money?

ABBOTT: Why not? THEY OWN IT!

(A few days later)

ABBOTT:  Super Duper computer store.  Can I help you?

COSTELLO: How do I turn my computer off?

ABBOTT: Click on ‘START’……………

We laugh, but her ID is safe.

During a recent password audit by a company, it was found that an employee was using the following password: MickeyMinniePlutoHueyLouieDeweyDonaldGoofySacramento

When asked why she had such a long password, she rolled her eyes and said, “Hello!  It has to be at least eight characters long and include one capital.”
