Poetry and Potpourri ........ September 22, 2003

.................................................................








The Poetry Branch has been in limbo since the prior hostess left FreeRepublic April 15th 2003. We've since learned that said hostess has lost her posting privilege. That being the case, and Jim Robinson having given his ok, I wanted to renew the thread.

FreeRepublic is blessed with many fine poets, and we look forward to seeing their poems posted on FR once again. There were many non-poet FReepers who visited the Poetry Branch for the camaraderie; we hope they will return.

I would like to invite everyone to visit and relax at Poetry and Potpourri. Hopefully you will renew old acquaintances for chatting, sharing jokes, telling stories, posting cartoons, etc. Everyone needs a place to escape from the everyday news, make Poetry and Potpourri that place.

I'm not real good at poetry

(Love to read it, though!)

But I'm gonna try to write one.

I'll post it here when I get it done.

Thank you for stopping by, Before. Glad you like the poem that I found for today.

I need to look in my mailbox to see if I received any jokes that I can share. I think I've neglected the potpourri part of the thread today.

Awwww....

I got this from another site
I was cruising the other night
It’s so cute I had to take it
But it wasn’t mine and I can’t fake it

So I decided to let the owner know
Without permission I won’t show
Ladies and Gents that wasn’t easy
So many names it drove me crazy!

This was originally Snow Bunny’s bear
On Free Dominion Chrissie posted it there
Then Wild Thing used it at the Canteen
It’s the darnedest thing I ever seen!

Well, I finally decided I didn’t need it
Wasn’t worth my time so I’ll delete it
But just so no one thinks I stole it
I thought I best tell you all about it.

Whew! Will the real owner please stand up!

Smoking Power Supply

After experiencing difficulties with his computer, a poor, incognizant user called the system maker's technical support line for assistance...

Technician: Hello. How can I help you Today?

Customer: There's smoke coming from the power supply on my computer...

Technician: Looks like you need a new power supply...

Customer: No, I don't! I just need to change the startup files...

Technician: Sir, what you described is a faulty power supply. You need to replace it...

Customer: No way! Someone told me that I just had to change the system startup files to fix the problem! All I need is for you to tell me the right command...

For the next ten minutes, in spite of the technician's efforts to explain the problem and its solution, the customer adamantly insisted that he was right. So, in frustration, the technician responded...

Technician: I'm sorry. We don't normally tell our customers this, but there's an undocumented DOS command that will fix the problem...

Customer: I knew it!

Technician: Just add the line 'LOAD NOSMOKE.COM' at the end of the CONFIG.SYS file and everything should work fine. Let me know how it goes...

About ten minutes later, the technician received a call back from the customer...

Customer: It didn't work. The power supply is still smoking...

Technician: Well, what version of DOS are you using?

Customer: MS-DOS 6.22...

Technician: Well, that's your problem. That version of DOS doesn't include NOSMOKE. You'll need to contact Microsoft and ask them for a patch. Let me know how it all works out...

When nearly an hour had passed, the phone rang again...

Customer: I need a new power supply...

Technician: How did you come to that conclusion?

Customer: Well, I called Microsoft and told the technician what you said, and he started asking me questions about the make of the power supply...

Technician: What did he tell you?

Customer: He said my power supply isn't compatible with NOSMOKE.......
