A Super Computer.
A major computer company called IBEmmy held a large exhibitionof their latest Supercomputer, all the press, computer manufacturers, and software houses attended, and all the big names were there.
After the unveiling of the Supercomputer, the man from IBEmmy said ” this Computer is the most powerful and intelligent machine in existence and knows everything”, when an upstart from a software house stood up and identified himself as William Doors of Macrosoft and said “Does it know where my father is”?.
The man from IBEmmy replied “Why this Computer knows everything”, “please come onto the stage and ask it”. Well William got up onto the stage and picked up the microphone and spoke “Where’s my Father”?.
The Computer Spoke out over the PA system and gave the following answer “He is fishing off the coast of Florida”. “Oh really!”, replied William , he turned to the man from IBEmmy and told him that his father is dead and this thing has got it wrong.
The man from IBEmmy answered by saying “This is a very Precision machine and perhaps you should rephrase the question”. William then picked up the mike and said “Ok, Where’s my Mother’s Husband”?. The Computer flashed a few lights , and after a second or two announced over the PA, “He is in Michigan State Cemetery, but your Father is fishing off the coast of Florida”.
Legal bit.
