Who's the Mac user?
A friend forwarded an Internet joke that has been circulating since at least February 2004 but has also been posted in 2005, 2006, 2007 and in 2008. Here it is:
Abbot: Super Duper computer store. Can I help you? ..Of course, the parody is a tribute to one of the best vaudeville skits of all time.
Costello: Thanks. I'm setting up an office in my den, and I'm thinking about buying a computer.
Abbot: Mac?
Costello: No, the name's Lou
Abbot: Your computer?
Costello: I don't own a computer. I want to buy one.
Abbot: Mac?
Costello: I told you, my name's Lou
Abbot: What about Windows?
Costello: Why? Will it get stuffy in here?
Abbot: Do you want a computer with windows?
Costello: I don't know. What will I see when I look in the windows?
Abbot: Wallpaper.
Costello: Never mind the windows. I need a computer and software.
Abbot: Software for windows
Costello: No. On the computer! I need something I can use to write proposals, track expenses and run my business. What have you got?
Abbot: Office
Costello: Yeah, for my office. Can you recommend anything?
Abbot: I just did.
Costello: You just did what?
Abbot: Recommend something?
Costello: You recommended something?
Abbot: Yes.
Costello: For my office?
Abbot: Yes
Costello: OK, what did you recommend for my office?
Abbot: Office.
Costello: Yes, for my office!
Abbot: I recommend Office with Windows.
Costello: I already have an office and it has windows! OK, let's just say, I'm sitting at my computer and I want to type a proposal. What do I need?
Abbot: Word. Costello: what word?
Abbot: Word in Office.
Costello: the only word in office is office.
Abbot: the Word in Office for Windows.
Costello: which word in office for windows?
Abbot: 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?
Abbot: Sure, Money.
Costello: that's right. What do you have?
Abbot: Money.
Costello: I need money to track my money?
Abbot: it comes bundled with your computer.
Costello: what's bundled with my computer?
Abbot: Money
Costello: money comes with my computer?
Abbot: yes. No extra charge.
Costello: I get a bundle of money with my computer? How much?
Abbot: one copy
Costello: isn't it illegal to copy money?
Abbot: Microsoft gave us a license to copy Money.
Costello: they can give you a license to copy money?
Abbot: why not, they own it.
