Diary of an AOL user |
july 18- i just tried to connect to america online, which I've heard is the best online service I can get. i can't connect, i dont know what is wrong.
july 19- some guy at the tech support center says my computer needs a modem. i don't see why. he's just trying to cheat me. how dumb does he think i am?
july 20- i bought the modem. i couldn't figure out where it goes. it wouldn't fit in the moniter or the printer. i'm confused.
july 21- i finally got the modem in and hooked up. that three year old next door did it for me.
july 22- that three year old kid next door hooked me up to america online for me. he's so smart.
july 23- what's the internet? i thought i was on america online, not this internet thingy. i'm confused.
july 24- the three year old kid next door showed me how to use this america online stuff. he must be a genius, at least compared to me.
july 25- i tried to use chat today. i tried to talk into my computer but nothing happened. maybe i need to buy a microphone.
july 26- i found this thingy called usenet. i got out of it because im connected to america online, not usenet. i went to the doctor today for my regular checkup. he says that since i connected to america online, my brain has mysteriously shrunk to half its normal size.
july 27- these people in this usenet thingy keep using capital letters. how do they do that? i never figured out how to type capital letters. maybe they have a different type of keyboard.
july 28- i found this thingy called the usenet oracle. it says that it can answer any questions i ask it. i asked it 44 seperate questions about the internet. i hope it responds soon.
july 29- i found a group called rec.humor. i decided to post this joke about why the chicken crossed the road. to get to the other side! ha ha! i wasn't sure if i posted it right so i posted it 56 more times.
july 30- i keep hearing about the world wide web. i didn't know spiders grew that large.
july 31- the oracle responded to my questions today. geez, it was rude. i was so angry that i posted an angry message about it to rec.humor.oracle.d. i wasn't sure if it posted right so i posted it 22 more times.
august 1- someone told me to read the faq. geez, they didn't have to use profanity.
august 2- i just read this post called make money fast. i'm so exited, i'm going to make lots of money. i followed his instructions and posted it to every newsgroup i could find.
august 3- i just made my signature file. it's only 6 pages long, so i will have to work on it some more.
august 4- i just looked at a group called alt.aol.sucks. i read a few posts and i really believe that aol should be wiped off the face of the earth. i wonder what an "aol" is, however.
august 5- i was asking where to find some information about something. some guy told me to check out ftp.netcom.com. i've looked and looked, but i cant find that group.
august 6- some guy suspended my account because of what i was doing. i told him i don't have an account at his bank. hes so dumb.

These all are jokes that we've had the good fortune of having other people email to us or we've retrieved off the Internet. Over time, we've sent them on to the subscribers of our various jokes lists. Since we're talking some ten years of managing these emails lists, we've built up a pretty sizeable (and FUNNY) collection of jokes. They cover pretty much any category and topic that you can imagine; from clean jokes to dirty jokes and most everything in between, including the much loved lawyer jokes and the blonde jokes and the yo mama jokes as well as those redneck jokes. Remember, we did NOT author them, but we did take the time to convert the text files to html.
If you are certain of the authorship of any of these, email us the author's name along with relevant information on how we can verify that they truly are the author so we can give them the credit that they deserve.
We've all heard the stories. Stories about innocently searching the internet with Internet Explorer when, all of a sudden, all the alarms are going off with your virus scanner. Programs are installing themselves. Warnings about Smitfraud-C, SpyAxe, and Vcodec are popping up on your screen.
And some of us have had firsthand experience. Firsthand experience that has led us away from IE and to other browsers like Firefox.
And why is that? Well, virus writers are generally going to be trying to get the most bang for their buck, ,just like everyone else. That's why. And IE currently provides them with that. It still has the largest market share, likely due in large part that it comes preinstalled on most computers.
But just because it's preinstalled doesn't mean you have to use it and expose yourself to all the spyware and virii targetted to it. You can do what an ever growing portion of users out there are doing. You can switch to
