Technical Support

A man is flying in a hot air balloon and realizes he is lost. He reduces
his altitude and spots a man down below. He lowers the balloon further
and shouts: "Excuse me, can you tell me where I am?"

The man below says: "Yes, you're in a hot air balloon, hovering 30 feet
above this field."

"You must work in Technical Support," says the balloonist.

"I do," replies the man. "How did you know?"

"Well" says the balloonist, "everything you have told me is technically
correct, but completely useless."

The man below says: "You must be in management."

"I am," replies the balloonist, "but how did you know?"

"Well", says the man, "you don't know where you are, or where you're
going, but you expect me to be able to help. You're still in the same
position you were before we met, but now it's my fault."

And the moral is ...

It's easy to get lost if your head's in the clouds, no matter what your field is.


Sorry. That was an untechnical answer. It was also unfunny and meaningless, unlike the joke which I liked.

 

[LordMagicMan]

It was illustrating that its difficult to bridge the gap between those that are techincal and those that are not.

you either know how to use a computer or you don't.. It's near impossible for someone to explain how to, to a newbie over the phone.

So that's why they charge premium rates? I see ...

 

[LordMagicMan]

well it takes a lot out of us to tell you to turn off the computer wait 5 and a half seconds and turn it back on

 

[Ally C]

same answer applies

*notice how I say 'they' and you say 'you'? No need to go on the offensive*

 

[Ally C]

or should that be ...

... defensive?

 

[April]

How can you time half a second? I'd just wait six, or would that screw things up completely?

 

[LordMagicMan]

it was simply a joke, but i guess my humor is too raw.

Lunch

An Irishman, a Mexican and a redneck were doing construction work
on the scaffolding of a tall building. They were eating lunch and the
Irishman said, "Corned beef and cabbage! If I get corned beef and
cabbage one more time for lunch, I'm going to jump off this building." The
Mexican opened his lunch box and exclaimed, "Burritos again! If
I get burritos one more time, I'm going to jump off too." The redneck
opened his lunch and said, "Bologna again. If I get a bologna sandwich
one more time, I'm jumping too."

Next day the Irishman opens his lunch box, sees corned beef and cabbage
and jumps to his death. The Mexican opens his lunch, sees a burrito and
jumps too. The redneck opens his lunch, sees the bologna and jumps
to his death as well. At the funeral, the Irishman's wife is weeping. She
says, "If I'd known how really tired he was of corned beef and cabbage, I never would have given it to him again!" The Mexican's wife also weeps and says,
"I could have given him tacos or enchiladas! I didn't realize he hated
burritos so much."
Everyone turned and stared at the redneck's wife. "Hey, don't look at
me," she said. "He makes his own lunch."
