JOKE OF THE WEEK - LIFE BEFORE COMPUTERS

An application was for employment.

A program was a TV show

A cursor used profanity

A keyboard was a piano!

Log on was adding wood to the fire.

Hard Drive was a long trip on the road.

A mouse pad was where a mouse lived.

And a backup happened to your commode

Cut - you did with a pocketknife

Paste you did with glue

A web was a spider's home

And a virus was the flu!
