Support
Looking over the log book kept by the computer support staff at my office, I noticed several entries stating the problem was PICNIC.
I asked one of the technicians what PICNIC meant.
He laughed as he told me it meant “Problem In Chair, Not In Computer.”
Speeding
Rushing to work, I was driving too fast and as a result was pulled over by the highway patrol. The speedcop noticed that my shirt had the name of a local high school on it. “I teach math there,” I explained.
He smiled, and said, “Okay, here’s a problem. A teacher is speeding down the highway at 45.7 km/h over the limit. At R175 for every km, plus R500 court costs, what’s her total cost?”
I replied, “Taking that total, subtracting the low salary I receive, multiplying by the number of kids who hate math, then adding to that the fact that none of us would be any- where without teachers, I’d say zero.”
He handed me back my license. “Math was never my favorite subject,” he admitted. “Please slow down.”
Repairs
An office technician got a call from a computer user. The user told the tech that her computer was not working. She described the problem and the tech concluded that her computer needed to be brought in and serviced.
He told her, “Unplug the power cord and bring it up here and I’ll fix it for you.”
About ten minutes later she showed up at his door… with the electrical cord in her right hand.
