Happy Feel Good Friday!!!
I came across these Funny Stories on www.onlyfunnystories.com/index.asp:
I was teaching a very basic class in BASIC programming to a group of adults. Adults who have never been around computers before are very nervous and much harder to teach than children, however I am a patient person so I enjoy their successes.
However, I must share the following:
After putting a short program on the board, I told the students to type “R,” “U,” “N” and press return to see the program execute.
A hand went up in the back of the room, waving to get my attention, and the person attached to the hand said, “I did what you said and it didn’t work.” Knowing full-well that all of us make mistakes when typing at the computer, I suggested she retype “R,” “U,” “N” and press return. A few seconds later, the lady’s hand goes up again. “It still doesn’t work,” she said.
So… I went back to see what the problem was … only to find that instead of typing RUN, she had typed in the following: ARE YOU IN !
An old woman came into her doctor’s office and confessed to an embarrassing problem. “I do that all the time, Doctor Johnson, but they’re soundless, and they have no odor. In fact, since I’ve been here, I did it no less than twenty times. What can I do?”
“Here’s a prescription, Mrs. Harris. Take these pills three times a day for seven days and come back and see me in a week.”
Next week an upset Mrs. Harris marched into Dr. Johnson’s office. “Doctor, I don’t know what was in those pills, but the problem is worse! I’m doing it just as much, but now it smells terrible! What do you have to say for yourself?”
“Calm down, Mrs. Harris,” said the doctor soothingly. “Now that we’ve fixed your sinuses, we’ll work on your hearing!!!”
I hope these stories have given you a little smile and giggle. There is a little life lesson though. The simplest option is often the best choice. Don’t over think things or make them more complicated than necessary. Of course I need to take my own advice 🙂
Have a great Feel Good Friday!!!! What’s making you feel good today???
