Linux Laptop

  I???ve been taking the train to work for 4 years now. It???s a 45 minute rambling ride in which I usually either read a book, sleep, or grab my laptop loaded up with Ubuntu and get some stuff done. Over time, I???ve collected a few funny remarks I???ve either over heard. Here is the best.

# They stole that spinning cube thing from a Mac! (Two mac users sitting next to me).

Contemporary courtship

  When I and a friend were walking out of a burger bar, we walked out to see a couple of attractive girls walk past a black, homeless man. The man turned as they walked past and said, "Excuse me ladies...." no reply. "err, ladies" no reply. "Ladies" slightly louder. "malalalalalalalala", in a pitch that no man should be able to achieve.

Everyone in a 5 metre radius laughed.

The doors!

  The train driver, harrassed by running late on a morning commuter train, warning his passengers over the tannoy: "Stand clear of the doors please, the doors are closing. Stand clear of the doors, remove any items of clothing."

A brief pause, a couple of passengers catch each other's eyes ... "From the doors, that is."
