Newest Computer BoffinWill and Guy's computer humour

George landed his first computer programming position and he was thrilled. His father, Colin, although a stranger to the field, shared George’s
enthusiasm and welcomed him at the door when he arrived home
after his first day, inquiring, ‘What did you do at work today?’

He listened intently while George explained in great detail his eight hours of COBOL, binary code and JCL errors.

When George arrived home
the following night, once again his father, Colin, was waiting at the front door. ‘So,’ he greeted George, ‘what did you have for lunch today?’

True Story From
Computer Front-line Support

Back when I worked as a PC technician I had a client who gave us his
computer to fix because it was riddled with malware. One of the standard
things we do is clean the cache, empty the recycle bin, scan for and remove
viruses.

When we gave him his computer back he freaked out on us demanding to know
what we did with his most sensitive files. We told him we didn’t delete any
personal files and he told us we did. Apparently he kept his most important
documents in the recycle bin?!

We tried to explain what the recycle bin was actually for and he
just didn’t want to listen and didn’t care or know to care. That was his
sensitive file folder.

Five Hilarious,
Clean and Short Computer Jokes

1) Capable CandidateHilarious clean computer jokes

The IT director advertises that he needs a secretary.  Necessary
skills: document forming,  computer knowledge and a foreign language.
After a couple of days a dog walks in.

“I’m an open minded person,” the pale-turned boss stutters, “but I need
someone who can form documents…”

The dog sits down behind the computer and compiles a totally decent
business letter.

“Yes, but the IT-knowledge…”

The dog quickly writes a little program.

“Well, but foreign language?” the totally amazed director asks.

“Meow!” says the dog.

2) Mystery

3) WriterHilarious clean computer jokes

to become a great writer.

When asked to define “great” he replied, ‘I want to write stuff that the

He now works for Microsoft, writing error messages.

4) Secret

his seven year old son, Nathan, sneaked up behind him.

Then Nathan turned and ran downstairs into the kitchen, bellowing to the
rest of the family, ‘I know Daddy’s password! I know Daddy’s password!

asterisk.’

serviced.

Kevin told her to unplug the power cord and bring it to him in the office

About fifteen minutes later she showed up at Kevin’s door with the power
cord in her hand…

When I Was Young – A Funny Computer Poem

A computer was something on TV
From a science fiction show of note
A window was something you hated to clean
And ram was the cousin of a
goat.

Meg was the name of my girlfriend
And gig was a job for the nights
Now they all mean different things
And that really mega bytes.

An application was for employment
A program was a TV show
A cursor
used profanity
A keyboard was a piano.

Memory was something that you lost with age
A CD was a bank account
And if you had a 3-inch Floppy
You hoped nobody found out.

Compress was something you did to the garbage
Not something you did to
a file
And if you unzipped anything in public
You’d be in jail for a
while.

Log on was adding wood to the fire
Hard drive was a long trip on the
road
A mouse pad was where a mouse lived
And a backup happened to your
commode.

Cut you did with a pocket knife
Paste you did with glue
A web was a
spider’s home
And a virus was the flu.
