Jokes for the week of 1/10/2005

Cars vs. Computers, & What your car says about you!

What if Microsoft Made Cars? 
  • A particular model year of car wouldn't be available until after that year instead of before it.
  • Every time they repainted the lines on the road, you'd have to buy a new car.
  • Occasionally your car would just die for no reason, and you'd have to restart it. For some strange reason, you'd just accept this.
  • You could only have one person in the car at a time, unless you bought a Car 95 or a Car NT. But then you'd have to buy more seats.
  • Sun Motorsystems would make a car that was powered by the sun, twice as reliable, and five times as fast -- but it would only run on 5 percent of the roads.
  • The oil, engine, gas, and alternator warning lights would be replaced with a single "General Car Fault" warning light.
  • People would get excited about the "new" features in Microsoft cars, forgetting completely that they had been available in other cars for years.
  • We'd all have to switch to Microsoft gas.
  • The U.S. government would be getting subsidies from an automaker, instead of giving them.
  • New seats would force everyone to have the same-size butt.
What if People Bought Cars Like Computers? 
General Motors doesn't have a "help line" for people who don't know how to drive, because people don't buy cars like they buy computers -- but imagine if they did . . . 

HELPLINE: "General Motors Helpline, how can I help you?" 
CUSTOMER: "I got in my car and closed the door, and nothing happened!" 
HELPLINE: "Did you put the key in the ignition slot and turn it?"  
CUSTOMER: "What's an ignition?"  
HELPLINE: "It's a starter motor that draws current from your battery and turns over the engine."  
CUSTOMER: "Ignition? Motor? Battery? Engine? How come I have to know all of these technical terms just to use my car?" 

HELPLINE: "General Motors Helpline, how can I help you?"  
CUSTOMER: "My car ran fine for a week, and now it won't go anywhere!" 
HELPLINE: "Is the gas tank empty?"  
CUSTOMER: "Huh? How do I know?"  
HELPLINE: "There's a little guage on the front panel, with a needle, and markings from 'E' to 'F.' Where is the needle pointing?" 
CUSTOMER: "It's pointing to 'E.' What does that mean?"  
HELPLINE: "It means that you have to visit a gasoline vendor, and purchase some more gasoline. You can install it yourself, or 
pay the vendor to install it for you."  
CUSTOMER: "What!? I paid $12,000 for this car! Now you tell me that I have to keep buying more components? I want a 
car that comes with everything built in!"  

HELPLINE: "General Motors Helpline, how can I help you?"  
CUSTOMER: "Your car sucks!"  
HELPLINE: "What's wrong?"  
CUSTOMER: "It crashed, that's what went wrong!"  
HELPLINE: "What were you doing?"  
CUSTOMER: "I wanted to run faster, so I pushed the accelerator pedal all the way to the floor. It worked for a while, and 
then it crashed -- and now it won't start!"  
HELPLINE: "It's your responsibility if you misuse the product. What do you expect us to do about it?"  
CUSTOMER: "I want you to send me one of the latest versions that doesn't crash anymore!"  

HELPLINE: "General Motors Helpline, how can I help you?"  
CUSTOMER: "Hi! I just bought my first car, and I chose your car because it has automatic transmission, cruise control, power 
steering, power brakes, and power door locks."  
HELPLINE: "Thanks for buying our car. How can I help you?"  
CUSTOMER: "How do I work it?"  
HELPLINE: "Do you know how to drive?"  
CUSTOMER: "Do I know how to what?"  
HELPLINE: "Do you know how to drive?"  
CUSTOMER: "I'm not a technical person! I just want to go places in my car!"
