Groaner For The Day

[Boon Mee]

For All Computer Geeks

A man was careless when he installed software on his new laptop,

and a virus infected the machine. It randomly inserted profanity

in his e-mails. The owner did not realize what was happening until

he had offended all of his friends. When he was told of the problem,

he decided to punish the computer. First, he sprinkled highway deicing mixture on the power supply terminals to cause corrosion. Then, he scraped away the solder joints from the motherboard. He finished by throwing the computer from his hotel window. The next morning, he was arrested and charged with ...

... a salted battery, breach of contacts, and making an obscene clone fall!
