Abbott And Costello On Computers

Here’s a take on the classic Abbott and Costello “Who’s On First” routine that’s been making the email rounds. I found it really funny …

If Bud Abbott and Lou Costello were alive today, their infamous sketch, “Who’s on First?” might have turned out something like this:

COSTELLO CALLS TO BUY A COMPUTER FROM ABBOTT

COSTELLO: Thanks. I’m setting up an office in my den and I’m thinking about buying a computer. 

ABBOTT: Mac?

COSTELLO: No, the name’s Lou.

ABBOTT:  Your computer?

COSTELLO: I don’t own a computer. I want to buy one.

ABBOTT: Mac?

COSTELLO: I told you, my name’s Lou.

ABBOTT: What about Windows?

COSTELLO: Why? Will it get stuffy in here?
