Jotd The World's Greatest Computer Joke Book

The greatest computer joke book ever! Written by a professional comedian/computer network administrator/rabbi, JOTD boldly makes fun of the world of computer technology, corporate America, and everything else. With a slant towards UNIX and Solaris, it gives great detail to operating systems to satisfy the most astute nerds, but offers enough broad range to reach anyone in the office world. JOTD is outrageously funny where humor doesn't even seem possible to show itself - deep inside the world of Geekdom. And, JOTD isn't just a compilation of wimpy one-liners, but is a collection of full-length caustic satires, zany scripts, and mature material. And, best of all, JOTD is low in fat and cholesterol.

Customer Review: Not The World's Greatest Computer Joke Book

Does "Jotd" mean "not" in whatever language a rabbi turned Unix Sys Admin speaks? I ask because this is "Not The World's Greatest Computer Joke Book." The book is somewhat funny, but probably won't leave you rolling on the floor laughing (unless perhaps you are Jewish and a Solaris Administrator who's been looking for someone who relates to you). I ordered the book in hopes of finding funny material to use in a Unix class. The content was disappointing to me in that respect. This book of a little over 100 pages with lots of whitespace--and I'm not referring to newlines and tabs--lacks substance. In fairness I must say that I was expecting the book to contain two things: (1) At least some jokes of the format "What's the difference between the Unix MORE command and Michael MOORE?" AND (2) At least a few things that are just hilariously funny. I found neither. The book contains such things as a contrived dialogue between a Unix Systems Administrator and a headhunter (which is more sarcastically realistic than funny), a fake, amusing letter of application for a job, comparisons of Windows NT to Unix (also more true than funny), and some bit about the author's not having had sex (with another person, that is) since 1988. I do have to give the author credit for at least writing and publishing some mildly amusing tidbits and for throwing caution to the wind where political correctness is concerned. I'd rate the book at 3.495 if possible.

Customer Review: Very funny!

This book is definitely one-of-a-kind. I haven't seen any other computer joke books with really technical humor like this one has. It's funny even if you think you've already seen every computer joke in the world twice... I've never seen these jokes anywhere else. I'll definitely be saving a few to retell later.
