Jokes help us abstract from bad news and realize the truth through the ridicule of problems. If you want to talk about it in general, but are worried about lack of time or knowledge base, just say write my capstone project and your problems and doubts will be solved.

At a recent computer expo (COMDEX), Bill Gates reportedly compared the computer industry with the auto industry and stated "if GM had kept up with the technology like the computer industry has, we would all be driving $25 cars that got 1,000 miles to the gallon."

In response to Bill's comments, General Motors issued a press release stating: "If GM had developed technology like Microsoft, we would all be driving cars with the following characteristics:

l. For no reason whatsoever, your car would crash twice a day.

2. Every time they repainted the lines in the road, you would have to buy a new car.

3. Occasionally your car would die on the freeway for no reason. You would have to pull over t the side of the road, close all of the windows, shut off the car, restart it, and reopen the windows before you could continue. For some reason you would simply accept this.

4. Occasionally, executing a manoeuvre such as a left turn would cause your car to shut down and refuse to restart, in which case you would have to reinstall the engine.

5. Only one person at a time could use the car unless you bought "CarNT, " but then you would have to buy more seats.

6. Macintosh would make a car that was powered by the sun, was reliable, five times as fast and twice as easy to drive- but would run on only five percent of the roads.

7. The oil, water temperature, and alternator or warning lights would all be replaced by a single "General Protection Fault" warning light.

8. New seats would force everyone to have the same sized butt.

9. The air bag system would ask "are you sure" before deploying.

10. Occasionally, for no reason whatsoever, your car would lock you out and refuse to let you in until you simultaneously lifted the door handle, turned the key and grabbed hold of the radio antenna.

11. GM would require all car buyers to also purchase a deluxe set of Rand McNally road maps(now a GM subsidiary), even though they neither need nor want them. Attempting to delete this option would immediately cause the car's performance to diminish by 50% or more. Moreover, GM would become a target for investigation by the Justice Dept.

12. Every time GM introduced a new car, car buyers would have to learn to drive all over again because none of the controls would operate in the same manner as the old car.

13. You'd have to press the "Start" button to turn the engine off."

HAMMER
   A man is in court waiting trial. The clerk of sessions stands up and begins reading out the charges against him. "On the 1st May, this year you took a hammer and killed your wife."
   A voice from the back of the court yells out: 'You mongrel!'
   The judge asks for quiet.
    The clerk continues: 'Then you took the hammer and killed your mother in law.'
   The voice from the back calls out again: 'You slimy mongrel bastard!'
    The judge asks the bailiff to bring to interlocutor to the front of the court.
   When he gets there the judge asks him what he is yelling in court about.
    'Well,' said the man, 'I live in the house across the street and just last week when I wanted to borrow his hammer he said he didn't have one.'


WENDY
   John really loved Wendy, so he decided to prove it by having her name tattooed on his penis for her birthday. After dinner, he showed it to her in all its glory. WENDY, tattooed on his penis. Wendy thought it was beaut. Even when it was detumescent and all you could see was WY.
   Later on, John was in a public toilet when he noticed that the bloke peeing beside him also had WY tattooed on his dick. John was at once suspicious and curious. 'Is your girlfriend's name Wendy?'
   'No,' said the other bloke, 'I've never had a sheila called Wendy. Why?'
   'Well, it's your tattoo,' said John as he rather proudly revealed his own.
   'Great,' said the bloke. 'Very impressive.'
   'You can only see WY,' said John, 'but when I get an erection it says WENDY. What does yours say?'
   'Well, it's a bit of a mouthful. It says: WELCOME TO WOOLLOOMOOLOO AND HAVE A NICE DAY.'



GOOD NEWS
   A man entered hospital to have a minor operation on his toe. When he woke up he was looking at a grim-faced doctor. The doctor said to the patient, 'I have some good news and some bad news.'
   'Okay,' said the patient. 'Let me have the bad news first.'
   'Well, when we had a look at your toe we found your whole leg had gangrene, so we had to amputate it. But while I went out of the theatre to wash my hands, the nurse turned the table around. So when I came back I accidentally amputated the right leg instead of the left. When I realised the mistake I then took the other leg off.'
   'That's terrible,' said the patient. 'Now tell me the good news.'
   'The bloke in the next bed wants to buy your slippers.'



      PARROT
   Jimmy received a parrot for his birthday. The parrot was fully grown, with a very bad attitude and worse vocabulary.
   Every other word was an expletive; those that weren't expletives were, to say the least, rude. Jimmy tried to change the bird's attitude by constantly saying polite words, playing soft music... anything he could think of.
   Nothing worked.
   He yelled at the bird, and the bird got worse. He shook the bird, and the bird got madder and more rude.
   Finally, in a moment of desperation, Jimmy put the parrot in the freezer.
   For a few moments he heard the bird swearing, squawking, kicking and screaming and then, suddenly, there was absolute quiet.
   Jimmy was frightened that he might have actually hurt the bird, and quickly opened the freezer door.
    The parrot calmly stepped out onto Jimmy's extended arm and said, "I'm sorry that I offended you with my language and my actions, and I ask your forgiveness. I will endeavour to correct my behaviour".
   Jimmy was astounded at the changes in the bird's attitude and was about to ask what had changed him, when the parrot continued,
   "May I ask what the Chicken did?"




    SUPER-CONVENTION
   All the superheros, Batman, Spiderman, Atom man, The Flash, etc, decided to have a convention and talk about crime in the cities. They all turned up at the appointed hour except Superman. Batman kept looking at his watch and asking Spiderman had he heard anything. 'It's not like Superman to be late, he's very punctual.'
   Eventually half an hour late, Superman flies in through the window. Batman asks, 'Where have you been?'
   'Well on the way over here I was flying over some apartment buildings, just minding my own business when I noticed, with my x-ray vision, Wonder woman lying on the bed naked, flat on her back. I could hardly believe it and I started flying around and around the building getting more and more excited until finally I could stand it no longer, and flew in right through the open window, Whumph! On top of her.'
   'Wow, I bet she was surprised!'
   'Yeah but not as much as The Invisible Man.'



      LEGS IN THE AIR
    Little Johnny's pet rooster had died when he got home from school. Rigour mortis had set in and the legs were sticking up in the air. When his father came home he asked him,    "Why are the legs sticking up in the air dad?'
   His father, thinking quickly, said, 'Johnny, that is so God in his infinite wisdom can reach down from the clouds and lift the rooster straight up to heaven.
    'Gee, Dad, that's great,' said Johnny.
    A few days later, when Dad came home from work, Johnny rushed out yelling, 'Dad, Dad, we almost lost Mum today!'
    'What do you mean, Johnny?'
   'Well, Dad, I happened to come home from school early and walked into your bedroom and there was Mum flat on her back, legs in the air yelling "Jesus, I'm coming, I'm coming." And if it hadn't been for the milkman holding her down, we'd have lost her for sure.'



      PAINTED WHITE
    A young Aboriginal lad observed that there seemed to be some advantages in being white, so he went off and painted himself white all over. He went and showed his mother who roused on him, and told him to go and show his father. This he did, and his father not only roared at him for being so silly, but cuffed him over the ears and sent him on his way. The boy went and sat on his front step pondering his position and feeling very miserable. His mate came along and asked him what was wrong.
   'I've only been a white kid for half an hour,' he replied, 'and I hate those black bastards already.'



      FARMER AND BULL
   An old farmer was worried about his favourite bull. It was ignoring the cows. So he went to the vet and got some medicine. Next day he was telling a neighbour about it. 'I gave that Brahmin of mine one dose and within half an hour he'd serviced eight cows.'
   'Blimey,' said the neighbour, 'what's the stuff called?'
   'Well, the label's come off the bottle,' said the farmer, 'but it tastes like peppermint.'



      THE GIFT.
   A young man wanted to purchase a gift for his new sweetheart's birthday, and as they had not been dating very long, after very careful consideration, he decided a pair of gloves would strike the right note: romantic, but not too personal.
   Accompanied by his sweetheart's younger sister, he went to Grace Brothers and bought a pair of white gloves. The sister purchased a pair of panties for herself. During the wrapping, the clerk mixed up the items and the sister got the gloves and the sweetheart got the panties. Without checking the contents, the young man sealed the package and sent it to his sweetheart with the following note:
   "I chose these because I noticed that you are not in the habit of wearing any when we go out in the evening. If it had not been for your sister, I would have chosen the long ones with buttons, but she wears short ones that are easier to remove.
   These are a delicate shade, but the lady I bought them from showed me the pair she had been wearing for the past three weeks and they are hardly soiled. I had her try yours on for me and she looked really smart.
    I wish I was there to put them on for you the first time, as no doubt other hands will come in contact with them before I have a chance to see you again.
   When you take them off, remember to blow into them before putting them away, as they will naturally be a little damp from wearing. Just think how many times I will kiss them during the coming year.
   I hope you will wear them for me on Friday night.
   All my love,
      ps The latest style is to wear them folded down with a little fur showing."

      SENTENCED

    A wife woke up in the middle of the night to find her husband missing from bed. She got up and checked around the house, trying to find where he might be.
   Then, she heard sobbing coming from the basement. After turning on the light and descending the stairs, she found her husband curled up into a little ball, sobbing.
   "Honey, what's wrong?" she asked.
   Wiping his eyes, her husband replied:    "Remember 20 years ago, when I got you pregnant?"
   "Of course," she said.
   "And remember when your father the judge threatened to put me in jail for 20 years if I didn't marry you?"
    "Yes..." she replied.
    "Well," he said, sobbing uncontrollably, "I just realized that yesterday would have been my release date!"

      THE PLAN
   In the Beginning was the plan.
   And then came the assumptions.
   And the assumptions were without form.
   And the plan was completely without substance.
   And the darkness was upon the face of the workers. And they spoke among themselves saying: "It is a crock of shit, and it stinketh."
   And the workers went unto their supervisors, and sayeth: "It is a pail of dung, and none can abide the odour there of."
   And the supervisors went unto their managers and sayeth unto them, "It is a container of excrement, and it is very strong, such that none can abide it."
   And the managers went unto the directors and sayeth, "It is a vessel of fertilizer, and none can abide its strength," And the directors spoke amongst themselves, saying one to another: "It contains that which aids plant growth, and is very strong."
   And the directors went unto the vice presidents and sayeth to them, "It promotes growth, and is very powerful."
   And the vice presidents went unto the president, and sayeth unto him, "This new plan will actively promote growth and efficiency of this company, and certain areas in particular."
   And the president looked upon the plan, and saw that it was good. And the plan became policy.
   And this is how shit happens.

      NEW EMPLOYEE
    The local sheriff was looking for a deputy, so Gomer - who was not exactly the sharpest nail in the bucket went in to try out for the job.
    "Okay," the sheriff drawled, "Gomer, what is 1 and 1?"
    "11" he replied.
    The sheriff thought to himself, "That's not what I meant, but he's right."
    "What two days of the week start with the letter 'T'?"
   "Today and Tomorrow."
   He was again surprised that Gomer supplied a correct answer that he had never thought of himself.
   "Now Gomer, listen carefully: Who killed Abraham Lincoln?"
   Gomer looked a little surprised himself, then thought really hard for a minute and finally admitted, "I don't know."
   "Well, why don't you go home and work on that one for a while?"
   So, Gomer wandered over to the pool hall where his pals were waiting to hear the results of the interview.
   Gomer was exultant. "It went great! First day on the job and I'm already working on a murder case!"

***************************************************

      Doctor Gary had slept with one of his patients and had felt guilty all day long. No matter how much he tried to forget about it, he couldn't. The guilt and sense of betrayal was overwhelming. But every once in a while he'd hear that soothing voice, within himself, trying to reassure him:
      &quotGary, don't worry about it. You aren't the first doctor to sleep with one of their patients and you won't be the last. And you're single. Let it go."
      But invariably the other voice would bring him back to reality, &quotGary, you're a vet."
