Moses and the Computer world
"Excuse me, Sir."
"Is that you again, Moses?"
"I'm afraid it is, Sir."
"What is it this time, Moses. More computer
problems?"
"How did you guess?"
"I don't have to guess, Moses. Remember?"
"Oh, yeah, I forgot."
"Tell me what you want, Moses."
"But you already know. Remember?"
"Moses!"
"Sorry, Sir."
"Well, go ahead, Moses. Spit it out."
"Well, I have a question, Sir. You know
those 'ten things' you sent me?"
"You mean the Commandments, Moses?"
"That's it. I was wondering if they were
important."
"What do you mean 'were important,' Moses?
Of course, they're important. Otherwise I
wouldn't have sent them to you."
"Well, sorry, but I lost them. I could say
the dog ate them, but of course you would
see right through that."
"What do you mean 'you lost them'? Are you
trying to tell me you didn't save them, Moses?"
"No, Sir. I forgot."
"You should always save, Moses."
"Yeah, I know. You told me that before. I was
going to, but I forgot.
I did send them to some people before I lost
them though."
"And did you hear back from any of them?"
"You already know I did. What about the one
guy who said he never uses 'shalt not'? Can
he change the words a little bit?"
"Yes, Moses. As long as he doesn't change the
meaning."
"And what about the guy who thought your
stance was a little harsh, and recommended
calling them the 'Ten Suggestions,' or letting
people pick one or two to try for a while?"
"Moses, I'll act like I didn't hear that."
"I think that means 'no.' Well, what about the
guy who said I was scamming him?"
"I think the term is 'spamming,' Moses."
"Oh, yeah. I E-mailed him back and told him I
don't even eat that stuff, and I have no idea
how you can send it to someone through a computer."
"And what did he say?"
"You know what he said. He used Your name in
vain. You don't think he might have sent me one
of those -- er -- plagues, and that's the reason
I lost those ten things, do you?"
"They're called 'viruses,' Moses."
"Whatever! This computer stuff is just too much
for me. Can we just go back to those stone tablets?
It was hard on my back taking them out and reading
them each day, but at least I never lost them."
"We'll do it the new way, Moses."
"I was afraid you would say that, Sir."
"Moses, what did I tell you to do if you messed
up?"
"You told me to hold up this rat and stretch it
out toward the computer."
"It's a mouse, Moses. Mouse! Mouse! And did you
do that?"
"No, I decided to try the technical support first.
After all, who knows more about this stuff than
you, and I really like your hours. By the way,
Sir, did Noah have two of these mice on the ark?"
"No, Moses."
"One other thing. Why didn't you name them 'frogs'
instead of 'mice,'because didn't you tell me the
thing they sit on is a pad?"
"I didn't name them, Moses. Man did, and you can
call yours a frog if you want to."
"Oh, that explains it. Kind of like Adam, huh,
sir? I bet some woman told him to call it a
mouse. After all, wasn't it a woman who named
one of the computers Apple?"
"Say good night, Moses."
"Wait a minute, sir. I am stretching out the
mouse, and it seems to be working. Yes, a couple
of the 'ten things' have come back."
"Which ones are they, Moses?"
"Let's see. 'Thou shalt not steal from any grave
an image' and 'Thou shalt not uncover thy neigh-
bour's wife.'"
"Turn the computer off, Moses. I'm sending you
another set of stone tablets."
