A man joined a big multinational company as a trainee. On his first day, he dialed the pantry and shouted into the phone, "Get me a coffee, quick!" The voice from the other side responded, "You fool, you've dialed the wrong extension! Do you know who you're talking to, dumbo?" "No," replied the trainee. "It's the Managing Director of the company, you fool!" The trainee shouted back, "And do you know who YOU are talking to, you fool?" "No." replied the Managing Director indignantly. "Good!" replied the trainee and put down the phone. ---------------------------------------- A corrupt minister used to write "NOT APPROVED" on all the papers that were sent to him by his assistants. He always left a significant space between NOT and APPROVED. When the affected persons suitably greased his palms, he would recall the files and just add an "E:" after NOT so that it became "NOTE: APPROVED". This was THE BEGINNING OF E BUSINESS IN INDIA. ---------------------------------------- Ramu : I've just become a member of Rotract Club. Somu : public member or private? Ramu : My submarine is not sinking into the water! What could be wrong? Somu : Maybe you used float instead of double in the software. PS : Hey Bull, Can you do me a favor? Can you pass on these 500 Rupees to Suthi...? Bull : Sure, why not? But tell me one thing. Tell me whether it's pass by value or pass by reference. Ramu : Shhhh...I think the SW Engg who is sitting in the next cabin must have been a farmer before. Somu : How do you know? Ramu : He asked me today that is there a way to cultivate the bit fields! Computer : Please sit over the hard disk to compress the files! Computer : Please pour Engine oil in the floppy drive to enhance the performance of Search Engine. Ramu : Why are people beating that SW engg black and blue? Somu : It seems that he asked one of them whether "Vande Mataram"* is new kind of RAM in the market! Ramu : Hey! I have a problem. My system is not booting up! Somu : Maybe its internal buses are on strike. Ramu : (While browsing the TV) What is this? I have heard of Star Sports, Star Movies and Star Plus. What's this Star Equals??? Is it a new Star Channel? Somu : No. The "=" operator has been overloaded in the Star Channel. Babu : Yesterday I bought a new TV whose terminal is compatible with computer... but its audio portion is not at all working. Gopu : Maybe it's compatible only with dumb terminals??? Vani : We have shifted our home to Mal

Who are Ramu and Somu ? Did you write this stuff ? Oh, and it should be 'public, private or protected ?'...... Christian No offense, but I don't really want to encourage the creation of another VB developer. - Larry Antram 22 Oct 2002 Hey, at least Logo had, at it's inception, a mechanical turtle. VB has always lacked even that... - Shog9 04-09-2002 Again, you can screw up a C/C++ program just as easily as a VB program. OK, maybe not as easily, but it's certainly doable. - Jamie Nordmeyer - 15-Nov-2002

Christian Graus wrote: Oh, and it should be 'public, private or protected ?'...... You are right of course, C++ guru! :) Dumb of me to just copy paste it, and of course I was not paying as much attention while reading it as you were. Just shows how alert you are when it's C++, even in a joke. :)
