Re: The New Joke Thread

Or the science nerd who was an irritatingly chronic punster.

His friends locked him in the basement and said...."make a lingual joke of this"

"0pun the door" came his reply

It has been said that puns are the highest form of humor.

Re: The New Joke Thread

Nice! At least rhetorical questions don't require a response, do they?

I know this post is a bit off topic of jokes but for anyone making that criticism, laugh at me for even asking the question below.
+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=

Thanks for the hints- Now I get the punch line.

When I read the joke the 0K had rolled to the next line on my screen so I didn't notice the zero was different from the capital "Oh" elsewhere on the page.

I wish there were a way to force my computer to slash its zeroes (Ø) automatically without inserting special symbols so the difference would be obvious.

Any supergeeks out there have a solution?

Dreaming Yachtsman, start a thread about this, I'm sure you're not the only one. [But it would ruin the joke.]

No more confusion! No joke!
Zeroes and Oh’s shall forevermore remain separated in my Word docs (until my computer crashes again and has to be replaced. {Now THAT is NOT a laughing matter!!}).

Interested geeks please refer to new thread on this topic: (http://www.cruisersforum.com/forums/...ml#post2527647).
