How do they get the deer
to cross at that yellow sign?

Here's an easy game to play.
Here's an easy thing to say.

If a packet hits a pocket on a socket on a port,
And the bus is interrupted as a very last resort,
And the address 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!

You can't say this?
What a shame, sir!
We'll find you
Another game, sir.

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 on another protocol
That's repeatedly rejected by your 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,
'Cause as sure as I'm a poet, the sucker's gonna hang!

When the copy of your floppy's getting sloppy on the disk,
And the microcode instructions cause unnecessary RISC,
Then you have to flash your memory
and you'll want to RAM your ROM.
Quickly turn off the computer and
be sure to tell your mom!

One day his youngest son was sitting
in his first grade class as the teacher
was reading the story of the Three Little Pigs.

She came to the part of the story
where the first pig was trying to
acquire building materials for his home.
She said "...And so the pig went up to the man
with a wheelbarrow full of straw and said
'Parden me sir, but might I have
some of that straw to build my house with?"

Then the teacher asked the class
"And what do you think that man said?"
and my friend's son raised his hand and said

"I know! I know!
He said 'Holy smokes! A talking pig!'"
The teacher was unable to teach
for the next 10 minutes.

A little boy was in a relative's wedding.
As he was coming down the aisle
he would take two steps,
stop, and turn to the crowd
(alternating between bride's side and groom's side).
While facing the crowd,
he would put his hands up like claws and roar...
so it went, step, step, ROAR,
step, step, ROAR
all the way down the aisle.

As you can imagine,
the crowd was near tears from laughing so hard
by the time he reached the pulpit.

The little boy, however,
was getting more and more distressed
from all the laughing,
and was also near tears
by the time he reached the pulpit.
When asked what he was doing,
the child sniffed and said,
"I was being the Ring Bear!"
