Blackberry

My boss was wandering around, not knowing what to do with his hands because the Blackberry wasn’t working right. I expect Justine was having withdrawal symptoms. It’s a good thing that I am not anal retentive enough to own one of these. Personally, I don’t want to be more accessible.

Here’s the best of the Blackberry quotes that I’ve heard:

Last night at 11:37 PM the DoD distributed an email to all Blackberries informing them that the Blackberry service was down.

Yes, I am proud to work in government, even if it is only for a suburban county. Early this morning, our own intrepid network department sent out this message to all county blackberry users:

“* BlackBerry service hit by widespread outage in U.S.”

This reminds me of my favorite joke (by Morey Amsterdam):

There’s a man in a jail cell wearing nothing but a tall silk hat.
The warden asks him, “Why aren’t you wearing any clothes?”
“Nobody ever comes in here.”
“Then why the tall silk hat?”
“Somebody might!”

I love Morey Amsterdam. He wrote all the best jokes. 99% of the jokes that you hear now on TV are just updated Morey Amsterdam jokes.

    Reminds me of a time when we were having one of our winter storms. There were power outages all over the city, and Larry Green, a TV mainstay here for decades, made the comment: “For those of you without power, stick by your TV and News4 will keep you up to date.”

    I’m sure that wasn’t the exact quote, but it was something along those lines.
