   JK>> But, if you hear the computer making farting or puking noises, it's   
   JK>> time to get it into the shop. :P   
      
   JK>Geez, yes :)  A farting or puking computer would be one I'd run from :)

   JK>That is a great play on words, Daryl :)   
      
     I love punny humor. There is a world championship pun-off in early May   
   each year in Austin, Texas...where the humor is drier than the Sahara.   
      
     There are 2 competitions:   
      
   1) Punniest Of Show -- the contestant prepares a script, ideally 60   
   seconds in length. At 90 seconds, a bell sounds, and points are   
   deducted. A second bell rings at 2 minutes, and the contestant is   
   disqualified. The script can be full of puns, or have one big one at the   
   end.   
      
   2) High Lies And Low Puns -- from several categories, two punsters go   
   head to head, having 5 seconds to make a pun on the category, and you   
   can't use the same pun more than once.   
      
     Proceeds benefit the O. Henry Museum in Austin, Texas.
