QUESTION: Where do
the characters go when I delete them on my PC?
ANSWER: The characters go
to different places, depending on whom you ask:
The
Catholic Church's approach to characters: The nice characters
go to Heaven, where they are bathed in the light of happiness. The
naughty characters are punished for their sins. Naughty characters
are those involved in the creation of naughty words, such as
"breast," "sex" and "contraception."
The Buddhist explanation:
If a character has lived rightly, and its
karma is good, then after it has been deleted it will be reincarnated
as a different, higher character. Those funny characters above the
numbers.. on your keyboard will become numbers... and numbers
will become letters, and lower-case letters will become upper-case.
The 20th-century bitter cynical
nihilist explanation: Who cares? It
doesn't matter if they're on the page, deleted, undeleted,
underlined, etc. It's all the same.
The Mac user's explanation:
All the characters written on a PC and
then deleted go to straight to PC hell. If you're using a PC, you can
probably see the deleted characters, because you're in PC hell also
Stephen King's explan:
Every time you hit the delete key you
unleash a tiny monster inside the cursor... who tears the poor
characters to shreds, drinks their blood, then eats them, bones
and all. Hah, hah, hah!
Dave Barry's explanation:
The deleted characters are shipped...
to Battle Creek, Michigan, where they're made into Pop-Tart filling;
this explains why PopTarts are so flammable, while cheap imitations
imitations aren't I'm not making this up.
IBM's explanation:
The characters are not real. They exist only on
the screen when they are needed, as concepts, so to delete them
is merely to de-conceptualize them. Get a life.
PETA's
(People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) explan.:
You've been... DELETING them??? Can't you
hear... them
SCREAMING??? Why don't you go CLUB some BABY SEALS
while wearing a MINK, you pig!!!!
