Jokes for Geeks and Brain Nerds

Jokes for Geeks

“Every time Linux boots, a penguin gets his wings,” geek joke [please explain]


And here's a selection from Lavinia's IMVU Blog


When your wife scratches your back and you say"No, not there. Scroll down a little."

My husband and I incurred several problems while assembling our new computer system, so we called the Help Desk. The man on the phone started to talk to Jeff in computer jargon, which confused us even more.
"Sir," my husband politely said, "please explain what I should do as if I were a four-year-old."
"Okay," the computer technician replied. "Son, could you please put your mommy on the phone?"

(That would so be us you and technology sometimes don't work. )

You know it's time to turn your computer off and read a book when:

A friend calls and says "How are you? Your phones have been busy for a year!"
You forgot how to work the TV remote control.
You see something funny and scream, "LOL, LOL."
You meet the mailman at the curb and swear he said "You've Got Mail!"
You sign off and your screen says you were on for 3 days and 45 minutes.

You fall asleep, but instead of dreams you get IM's.
You buy a laptop and a cell phone so you can have AOL in your car.
Tech support calls YOU for help.
You beg your friends to get an account so you can "hang out."
You get a second phone line just to call out for pizza.
You purchase a vanity car license plate with your screen name on it.
You say "he he he he" or "heh heh heh" instead of laughing.
You say "Scroll Up" when someone asks what it was you said.
You sneak away to your computer when everyone goes to sleep.
You talk on the phone with the same person you are sending an instant message to.
You look at an annoying person off line and wish that you had your ignore button handy.
You start to experience "withdrawal" after not being online for awhile.
"Where did the time go??"
You sit on AOL for six hours for that certain special person to sign on.
You get up in the morning and go online before getting your coffee.
.....You end your sentences with.....three or more periods.......
You enter a room and get greeted by 25 people with {{{hugs}}}and kisses.
Being called a "newbie" is a major insult to you.
You're on the phone and say "BRB."
Your teacher or boss recommends a drug test for the blood shot eyes.
Your answering machine/voice mail sounds a little like this...."BRB. Leave your S/N and I'll TTYL ASAP".
You need to be pried from your computer by the Jaws-of-Life.

I do hope Lavinia doesn't mind that I've reproduced her jokes here, after all it's a little more publicity for her

“Every time Linux boots, a penguin gets his wings,” geek joke [please explain]

Linux is an Operating System (like Windows), and it's logo is this little critter:

A penguin get it's wings.
A penguin get it's wings.
