If Bud Abbott and Lou Costello were alive
today

Bud Abbott and Lou Costello's infamous 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?

ABBOT T: Do you want a computer with Windows?

COSTELLO: I don't know. What will I see when I
look in 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 have you
got?

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, lets 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.
OK, forget that. Can I watch movies on the
Internet?

ABBOTT: Yes, you want Real One.

COSTELLO: Maybe a real one, maybe a cartoon.
What I watch is none of your
business. Just tell me what I need!

ABBOTT: Real One.

COSTELLO: If it's a long movie I also want to
see reel 2, 3 & 4. Can I watch them?

ABBOTT: Of course.

COSTELLO: Great! With what?

ABBOTT: Real One.

COSTELLO: OK, I'm at my computer and I want to
watch a movie. What do I do?

ABBOTT: You click the blue "1".

COSTELLO: I click the blue one what?

ABBOTT: The blue "1".

COSTELLO: Is that different from the blue w?

ABBOTT: The blue "1" is Real One and the blue
"W" is Word.

COSTELLO: What word?

ABBOTT: The Word in Office for Windows.

COSTELLO: But there's three words in "office
for windows"!

ABBOTT: No, just one. But it's the most
popular Word in the world.

COSTELLO: It is?

ABBOTT: Yes, but to be fair, there aren't many
other Words left. It pretty much wiped out all
the other Words out there.

COSTELLO: And that word is real one?

ABBOTT: Real One has nothing to do with Word.
Real One isn't even part of
Office.

COSTELLO: STOP! Don't start that again. 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".......

This is great! and all I gotta say other than, "Aarrrgh!" is, that I'm going to click your blue "w" if you don't start with some straight answers *smile*
