A Computer And A Hillbilly

"Printer Repair"*

*When a guy's printer type began to grow faint, he
called a local repair shop where a friendly man
informed him that the printer probably needed
only to be cleaned. Because the store charged
$50 for such cleanings, he told him he might be
better off reading the printer's manual and trying the job himself.

Pleasantly surprised by his candor, he asked, "Does
your boss know that you discourage business?"

"Actually, it is my boss's idea," the employee replied sheepishly.

"We usually make more money on repairs if we let
people try to fix things themselves first."

"A Computer And A Hillbilly"*

*A hillbilly was in jail serving 30 years for robbing banks.
After serving about 12 years he is notified that his Uncle
Joe from Chicago has died and left him over $100,000.

The hillbilly was so happy when the warden said he would
put it in trust until he was released. The warden asked him
if there was anything he wanted to buy before tying the
 money up. The Hillbilly said he had read a lot about
computers and wanted a computer.

The warden said "sure" and got him a computer. A brand
new Dell computer was soon delivered. After a few weeks
the warden visited him in his cell to see how he was doing.
To his amazement he saw the computer smashed on the floor.

The warden asked the Hillbilly what happened. The Hillbilly
said it didn't work right and he got mad. He said it would
not even complete the simplest task.

The warden asked him what he wanted the computer to
do. The Hillbilly said he just wanted one thing from the
computer. One simple task and it could not do it.

The Hillbilly said, "I hit the escape key and nothing happened,
I hit the key again and still nothin', I am still here. I think I will
sue Dell."
