A little lid-week humor

Subject: WHAT IF DR. SEUSS DID TECHNICAL WRITING?

If a packet hits a pocket on a socket on a port, and the bus is interrupted
as a very last resort, and the address of the memory makes your floppy disk
abort, then the socket packet pocket has an error to report.

If your cursor finds a menu item followed by a dash, and the
double-clicking icon puts your window in the trash, and your data is
corrupted 'cause the index doesn't hash, then your situation's hopeless and
your system's gonna crash!

If the label on the cable on the table at your house, says the network is
connected to the button on your mouse, but your packets want to tunnel on
another protocol that's repeatedly rejected by the printer down the hall,
and your screen is all distorted by the side effects of gauss, so your
icons in the window are as wavy as a souse, then you may as well reboot and
go out with a bang, 'cause as sure as I'm a poet, the sucker's gonna hang!

When the copy of your floppy's getting sloppy on the disk, and the
microcode instructions cause unnecessary risk, then you have to flash your
memory and you'll want to RAM your ROM.

Quickly turn off the computer and be sure to tell your mom.
