If Abbot and Costello were alive today .......

[dING]

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

 

 ABBOTT: Super Duper computer store. Can I help you?

 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?

 ABBOTT: Do you want a computer with Windows?

 COSTELLO: I don't know. What will I see when I look at the windows?

ABBOTT: Wallpaper.

COSTELLO: Never mind the windows. I need a computer and software.

ABBOTT: Software for Windows?

 COSTELLO: No. On the computer! I need something I can use to write proposals, track expenses and run my business. What do you have?

ABBOTT: Office.

COSTELLO: Yeah, for my office. Can you recommend anything?

 ABBOTT: I just did.

 COSTELLO: You just did what?

 ABBOTT: Recommend something.

 COSTELLO: You recommended something?

 ABBOTT: Yes.

 COSTELLO: For my office?

ABBOTT: Yes.

 COSTELLO: OK, what did you recommend for my office?

ABBOTT: Office.

 COSTELLO: Yeah, for my office. Can you recommend anything?

 ABBOTT: I just did.

 COSTELLO: You just did what?

 ABBOTT: Recommend something.

 COSTELLO: You recommended something?

 ABBOTT: Yes.

COSTELLO: For my office?

 ABBOTT: Yes.

 COSTELLO: OK, what did you recommend for my office?

 ABBOTT: Office.

COSTELLO: Yes, for my office!

 ABBOTT: I recommend Office with Windows.

 COSTELLO: I already have an office with windows! OK, let's just say I'm sitting at my computer and I want to type a proposal. What do I need?

 ABBOTT: Word.

 COSTELLO: What word?

 ABBOTT: Word in Office.

COSTELLO: The only word in office is office.

 ABBOTT: The Word in Office for Windows.

 COSTELLO: Which word in office for windows?

 ABBOTT: The Word you get when you click the blue 'W'.

 COSTELLO: I'm going to click your blue 'W' if you don't start with some straight answers.

COSTELLO: What about financial bookkeeping? Do you have anything I can track my money with?

ABBOTT: Money.

 COSTELLO: That's right. What do you have?

 ABBOTT: Money.

COSTELLO: I need money to track my money?

 ABBOTT: It comes bundled with your computer.

COSTELLO: What's bundled with my computer?

ABBOTT: Money.

 COSTELLO: Money comes with my computer?

 ABBOTT: Yes.  At no extra charge.

 COSTELLO: I get a bundle of money with my computer? How much?

 ABBOTT: One copy.

COSTELLO: Isn't it illegal to copy money?

 ABBOTT: Microsoft gave us a license to copy Money.

 COSTELLO: They can give you a license to copy money?

ABBOTT: Why not? THEY OWN IT!

 

(A few days later)

 

 ABBOTT: Super Duper computer store. Can I help you?

 COSTELLO: How do I turn my computer off?

ABBOTT: Click on 'START'
