I received in my inbox this evening, found it funny and thought I'd share:

A Modern version of Abbott and Costello's Who's On First routine:


LOU COSTELLO CALLS TO BUY A COMPUTER FROM BUD 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'.............


~ Sorry for the length, but I just had to share.

With all the talk of redheads lately. This one is for darhling.
-----------------------------------------------------------------

WHERE DO RED-HEADED BABIES COME FROM?????



After their baby was born, the panicked father went to see the Obstetrician.'Doctor,' the man said,'I don't mind telling you, but I'm a little upset because my daughter has red hair. She can't possibly be mine!!'



'Nonsense,' the doctor said.

'Even though you and your wife both have black hair, one of your ancestors may have contributed red hair to the gene pool.'

'It isn't possible,' the man insisted.'This can't be, our families on both sides had jet-black hair for generations.'

'Well,' said the doctor,'let me ask you this. How often do you have sex?'

The man seemed a bit ashamed 'I've been working very hard for the past year. We only made love once or twice every few months.'

'Well, there you have it!' The doctor said confidently.

'It's rust.'

I agree with scottyrocks, I usually don't like the spoofs of "Who's On First?". The closest to enjoying one was the rock concert line-up version from years ago.
This version was modern but had the flair of A &C. Thanks TradionalFrog.:eusa_clap

Sincerely,
The Wolf
