Hi guys,have been a bit slack in the joke department recently but I am sure you will understand that it is difficult to come up with new jokes all the time that meet the high standard that myself and a couple of others post here.
Hope you like this one.
The Imac Computer stood at the end of the Imac Computer Company's production line. At which point the guided tour eventually arrived. The salesman stepped forward to give his prepared demo.
"This", he said, "is the Ultimate Imac Computer. It will give an intelligent answer to any question you may care to ask it."
At which a Clever Dick stepped forward -- there is always one -- and spoke into the Ultimate Imac Computer's microphone.
"Where is my father"?, he asked.
There was a whirring of wheels and flashing of lights that the manufacturers always use to impress lay people, and then a little card popped out.
On it were printed the words, "Fishing off Florida."
Clever Dick laughed.
"Actually," he said, "my father is dead"!
It had been a trick question!!
The salesman, carefully chosen for his ability to think fast on his feet, immediately replied that he was sorry the answer was unsatisfactory, but as computers were precise, perhaps he might care to rephrase his question and try again?
Clever Dick thought, went to the Ultimate Imac Computer and this time said, "Where is my mother's husband"?
Again there was a whirring of wheels and a flashing of lights.
And again a little card popped out. Printed on it were the words, "Dead. But your father is still fishing off Florida."
