What is the internet


What is the Internet? 

The Internet is a Global network which brings directly into your family home an enormous and fantastic collection of pornography, propaganda and subversive material. Plus, of course, a trillion individuals and companies all desperately trying to sell you their wares. 

Amidst all this sleaze and shady dealing are the cutesy websites created by bored middle aged ladies featuring pictures and stories about their cats and grandchildren. 

Sadly this whole bizarre and lurid techno~social folly is completely compulsive and unless you wish to be a social outcast is quite inescapable.

The Parrot and the Magician Joke

A young man began his career as a magician with a job on a cruise ship. Vital to his act was his pet parrot - the bird would always steal his act by giving away the trick, “the card is up his sleeve” or “he hid the dove in his pocket.” This always got a great laugh from the audience. One day the ship began to sink. Risking his own life the magician ran back to his cabin to rescue his parrot. Diving overboard, at the last minute, they landed in the freezing water. The young man grasped onto a wooden door that had broken off the sinking ship and pulled himself and the parrot to safety. For a several days, they pair sat there looking at each other.Finally, the parrot broke the silence. “Okay, I give up.” He squawked, “What did you do with the ship?”

If Einstein had been a woman . . . Men express their thoughts in a logical systematic manner – whereas women talk in a less structured way and are more concerned with feelings than facts. If Einstein had been a woman she would have probably said something like, “I was in the mall yesterday looking for a new dress, I eventually bought a cute red one which I’ll show you later. Anyway I suddenly got this strange feeling about that energy thing. Now that reminds me I must pay that gas bill. But, as I was saying, I suddenly had the notion that E=MC2 - I can’t be sure of course but I spoke to my best friend Alice about it and she said . . . . . . . .”

Viagra - A Cure for Everything

A young man goes to visit his grandfather in the nursing home. He asks the elderly gentleman how he has been sleeping at night. The grandfather replies that they give him a cup of hot chocolate and a Viagra tablet every night before he goes to bed and he sleeps like a baby. The man thinks it strange giving an old man Viagra so he finds his grandfather's nurse to ask why. “The hot chocolate makes him sleepy,” replies the nurse, “and the Viagra keeps him from rolling out of bed.”
