“Who’s on First?” for the Computer Age

I'm sure this joke has been around awhile, but I just saw it over at Lisa's site and had to post it:

He Shouldn’t Be Worrying About Fonts

I spend a good portion of my time at work trying to identify fonts that customers have used in the past in their designs/logos. One of the best sites for this is WhatTheFont at MyFonts.com. You upload a picture and their program tries to match lettershapes with known fonts. If that is unsuccessful, you can leave a message in the WTF Guru Forums and font freaks try to identify the fonts you need. They're pretty darned awesome, I must say.

Anyway, after I post a pic there, I try to see if I can identify any of the other posted pics. I can never figure them out before a guru does, though. There was this one guy today that wanted to know what the "love is..." font was from those Love Is cartoons. A guru had already identified the font (the guy was in luck because it was even a free font!), but the guy couldn't figure out how to use it. I figured I'd be helpful and post a couple of links about how to use fonts and he still didn't get it. I gave up. I figured if he couldn't figure out how to install fonts by reading those two links (one Mac, one PC), then he shouldn't be trying to use fonts at all. Go read the guy's posts...he's a hoot. I wonder if he ever figured it out.

Friday Funny

In today's inbox:
Business is slow at a bar one night when all of a sudden a strange man walks in, carrying a bag. The man walks up to the bartender, takes a seat at the bar and beckons to the tender, calling his attention. "I'll bet you all of tonight's drinks that I can make you cry like a baby," the strange man says. In reply, the bartender chuckles, "Yeah sure, why not? You're not going to hit me or anything, are you?" he asks. The man shakes his head, "No, no, of course not," he replies, emptying the bag's contents onto the bartop. From the bag tumbles a little midget, just a little more than a foot tall, and a piano. The midget begins to play beautiful, beautiful music and it's so fantastic that the bartender soon breaks down and cries. Later, over the third round of free drinks, the bartender asks, "Okay, I gotta know, where'd you get that little guy?" The man at the bar leans in close, so that no one else can hear and answers, "I found a ring that will grant anyone three wishes." "Three wishes?" exclaims the bartender. "You gotta let me use at least one, man, come on, I won't tell anyone else, just let me use one!" With a sigh, the man hands over an ornate ring. The bartender slips it on his finger, closes his eyes and murmurs his wish. Suddenly, a duck wanders into the bar, followed by another, then another, and another. Soon, the tavern is flooded with ducks to the point where not even the midget can move without bumping one. "What the hell?" cries the bartender. "I wished for a million bucks! Not a million ducks!" The man at the bar chuckles a little. "I forgot to warn you..." he begins. "The ring is kind of, well... hard of hearing" "Hard of hearing? You mean like you have a deaf wishing ring?" questions the bartender. The man just chuckles and nods in reply. "Well, did you really think I wished for a twelve inch pianist?"

Money

A got a good giggle from this in my email today:
Money...

It can buy a house, but not a home.

It can buy a clock, but not time.

It can buy you a position, but not respect.

It can buy you a bed, but not sleep.

It can buy you a book, but not knowledge.

It can buy you medicine, but not health.

It can buy you blood, but not life.

So you see money isn't everything and it often causes pain and suffering.

I tell you this because I am your friend and, as your friend, I want to take away your pain and suffering!

So...



Send me all your money and I will suffer for you!

Cash only please!

After all, what are friends for, huh?

P.S. Let me know if you need my address.


I'm not kidding...let me know if you need my address!
