OT: New Computer for Yom Kippur

Sep 23, 2007 11 Replies

Got this one from the cantor:



An Israeli company called DELL-SHALOM has just unveiled its new "kosher computer." Please be advised of some important changes from the typical non-kosher computer, such as:


1) The "Start" button has been replaced with the "Let's go!! I'm not getting any younger!" button.


2) You hear "Hava Nagila" during startup.


3) The cursor moves from right to left.


4) When Spell-checker finds an error it prompts, "Is this the best you can do?"


5) It comes with a "monitor cleaning solution" from Manischewitz that advertises it gets rid of all the "schmutz und drek."


6) When running "Scan Disk" it prompts you with a "You want I should fix this?" message.


7) After 20 minutes of no activity, your PC goes "Schluffen."

Cool The PC shuts down automatically at sundown on Friday evenings.


9) It comes with two hard drives-one for fleyshedik (business software and one for milchedik (games).


10) Instead of getting a "General Protection Fault" error, your PC now gets "Ferklempt."


11) The multimedia player has been renamed to "Nu, so play my music already!" corner.


12) When your PC is working too hard, you occasionally hear a loud "Oy Gevalt!"


13) Computer viruses can now be cured with matzo ball soup.


14) When disconnecting external devices from the back of my PC, you are instructed to "Remove the cable from the PC's tuchus."


15) After your computer dies, you have to dispose of it within 24 hours.


16) But best of all, if you have a kosher computer, you can't get SPAM


slang old tasteless joke, [not to mention that most slang you use here is unpolite, to say the least] and so called sticks it to Israel, and please enlighten me where and how it connects to Yom Kippur ...if you really want to have fun you should listen to the Kosher Cellophones, that are now part of the Fundamenatl The one correct fact is that my curser can indeed move either from right to left, or from left to right ,,,, mirjam

This joke has been floating around for almost as long as there have been desk top computers, but it still deserves a smile, especially for those of us who know the difference between milchedik and fleyshedik.

Like you i first liked it , Lucille , but it is so old that i got bored of it and see it for what it really is a bit gross half ignorant use of terms , my children stopped to use after kindergarten,,, As to Fleischik Milschik , i could tell you a bunch of much more elegant stories,,, mirjam

Yeah, the cantor IS kinda cute. But he married someone else, so I suppose I shouldn't say that any more. ;)

Just curious, is my Conservative Jewish friend's statement original or an old joke, that the considers his car so much a member of the family that when he had had it for eight days, he cut an inch off the tailpipe?

I'm not even Jewish, and I can assure you that it is an extremely old joke.

What I wouldn't do for a knish today. It's the most awful weather outside.

Mmmmmm...knish... Becky A.

Mmmmm is right. My mouth is watering. Being a transplanted Nu Yawka, born and raised in Brooklyn, what I wouldn't give for a knish any day.

Yep, that one was probably originally used with a part on a chariot, but it too is a smile maker.

*drool* When I worked at Charles Schwab I got hooked on kasha knishes...
