I found this in the jokes section of the news..and thought that it might appeal to all non-amiga users (That should be an awful lot of users) NEWS-Posting: Newsgroup <eunet.jokes>, Item <#1186>, Subject <Amiga jokes> Path: vax1!rwallace From: rwallace@vax1.tcd.ie Newsgroups: eunet.jokes Subject: Amiga jokes Message-ID: <35836@vax1.tcd.ie> Date: 27 Feb 89 21:16:51 GMT Organization: Computer Laboratory, Trinity College Dublin Lines: 28 In the spirit of the very successful Lada jokes, how about a few Amiga jokes? Here's some to start with: An Amiga user went into a computer shop and said, "I'd like a dust cover for my Amiga". "OK", says the salesman, "sounds like a fair swap to me". What's the difference between an Amiga and a bucket of shit? A bucket. What do you call an Amiga in a Volkswagen? A pile of crap. What do you call an Amiga with a smiley face sticker on the monitor screen? A pile of crap. What do you call an Amiga painted purple with green spots? A pile of crap. What do you call an Amiga? A pile of crap. What's worse than having to program an IBM PC and fuck a pig? Having to program an Amiga and fuck a pig.

[Sorry to put another non-technical posting here. If you care about this group, please consider the suggestion below] In article <36510@vax1.tcd.ie>, jagrogan@vax1.tcd.ie writes: ^^^^^^^^ Note name, rwallace is innocent > I found this in the jokes section of the news..and thought that it > might appeal to all non-amiga users (That should be an awful lot of users) No, you didn't find that in eunet.jokes. Instead, you edited the original posting (included below), but left the article ID:s and original poster's name untouched. That's not very nice. As a gentleman, I'm sure You won't have anything against me mailing a little suggestion to your local postmaster. Hopefully some other readers of this newsgroup take the same action. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Trinity College, Dublin Postmaster Dear postmaster, User <jagrogan@vax1.tcd.ie> has sent a forwarded News-posting from eunet.jokes to the worldwide newsgroup comp.sys.amiga.tech, a group specifically intended for technical discussions. These things happen now and then. But not only did he post a jokes article in the wrong group, he *changed* the wording of the original article, but still referred to it as the original. As this is *very* *bad* behaviour on the network, I suggest that you deprive him/her of his/hers rights to use the computers at your site for at least half a year. Also, please note that the jokes by themselves are harmless. What concerns me is the abuse of the network to badmouth a (probably unknowing) person.

Who in their right mind would post this to comp.sys.amiga? I guess Trinity College is some sort of mental hospital...if they really give such gibbering idiots access to the network, SOMEONE there is lacking in their faculties. Further, if the note is a forgery and the named poster of that note really does exist, it is vitally important that someone inform them that an insane, frothing, bastard-child of two first cousins is posting to the world under their name. They should at least have a chance to clear themselves before the letter-bombs begin arriving. < Lionel ---------- Lionel Hummel 404 W.

I must also add, however, that it was not I who placed it there but a fellow classmate who got my password. Being an Amiga user myself I would not post such articles to that section, and it was done as a joke by the person in question because I have an Amiga and he, unfortunatly, has only a P.C.. I have removed the article in question at this end but it'll probably take a while for it to go through the network. I am however forwarding all replys to the person in question who posted that article. Cheers, Grog. P.S. Don't worry, it won't happen again because I'm more careful with my Password. ========== I don't know about you, but I believe him. Account access to computers are too often shared by student where such access is limited. I guess this incident just goes to prove again the "maturity" of your typical PC users! 8) (I don't mean that. I have an AT myself). Sorry to post this in .tech group.
