• Poem Highlights: Why Computers Sometimes Crash!


    [You gotta read this one out loud]

    If a packet hits a pocket on a socket on a port
    And the bus is interrupted at a very last resort
    And the access of the memory makes your floppy disk abort
    Then the socket packet pocket has an error to report.

    If your cursor finds a menu item followed by a dash
    And the double-clicking Icon puts your window in the trash
    And your data is corrupted cause the index doesn’t hash
    Then your situation’s hopeless and your system’s gonna crash!

    If the label on the cable on the table at your house
    Says the network is connected to the button on your mouse
    But your packets want to tunnel to another protocol
    That’s repeatedly rejected by the printer down the hall.

    And your screen is all distorted by the side effects of gauss
    So your icons in the window are as wavy as a souse
    Then you may as well reboot and go out with a bang
    ‘cuz sure as I’m a poet, the sucker’s gonna hang.

    When the copy on your floppy’s getting sloppy in the disk
    And the macro code instructions are causing unnecessary risk
    Then you’ll have to flash the memory and you’ll want to RAM your ROM
    And then quickly turn off the computer and be sure to tell your Mom!

    A lady manager of a big reputed office noticed a new man one day and told him to come into her office.
    “What is your name?” was the first thing she asked the new guy.
    “John ,” the new guy replied.
    She scowled, “Look… I don’t know what kind of a namby-pamby place you worked before, but I don’t call anyone by their first name. It breeds familiarity and that leads to a breakdown in authority.
    I refer to my employees by their last name only … Smith, Jones, Baker …that’s all.
    I am to be referred to only as Mrs. Robertson. Now that we got that straight, what is your last name?”
    The new guy sighed, “Darling …… My name is John Darling.”
    “Okay John, the next thing I want to tell you is . . .”

    One Night 4 College Students Were Playing Till Late Night and Didn’t Study For The Test Which Was Scheduled For The Next Day.

    In the morning they thought of a plan. They made themselves look as dirty and weird with grease and dirt. They then went up to the Dean and said that they had gone out to a wedding last night and on their return the tyre of their car burst and they had to push the car all the way back and that they were in no condition to appear for the test.

    So the Dean said they can have the re-test after 3 days. They thanked him and said they will be ready by that time. On the third day they appeared before the Dean. The Dean said that as this was a Special Condition Test, All four were required to sit in separate classrooms for the test. They all agreed as they had prepared well in the last 3 days.
