A disappointed salesman of Coca Cola returns from his Middle East assignment.
A friend asked, “Why weren’t you successful with the Arabs?”
The salesman explained, “When I got posted in the Middle East, I was very confident that I will makes a good sales pitch as Cola is virtually unknown there. But, I had a problem I didn’t know to speak Arabic. So, I planned to convey the message through 3 posters…
First poster, a man crawling through the hot desert sand…
Totally exhausted and panting.
Second poster, the man is drinking our Cola and
Third, our man is now totally refreshed.
Then these posters were pasted all over the place”
“That should have worked,” said the friend.
The salesman replied, “Well, not only did I not speak Arabic,
I also didn’t realise that Arabs Read from Right to Left…”
SOME REASONS WHY A MODEM IS BETTER THAN A WOMAN
1. A modem doesn’t ask for a commitment if you use it. Getting a modem to obey you is as simple as typing “AT”.
2. When you’re done using your modem, you can roll over and go to sleep without feeling guilty.
3. A modem won’t say a word if you come home late.
4. A modem can’t collect alimony if you decide to dump it.
5. A modem will always wait patiently by the phone.
6. You can always get a few bucks for an old modem when a faster model comes out.
7. A modem doesn’t mind if you call another modem.
8. A virus you catch from your modem doesn’t require a trip to the doctor.
9. You don’t have to bring a modem home to meet your parents. If an error occurs, Abort, Retry or Fail are the only options you have to worry about.
10. Modems come with an instruction manual. Modems have a volume control – you can even turn the sound OFF.
