Hello all,
please forgive me that I'll bother you with another joke (I apologize
particularly in the case of Arun and Lyman - but both of them should
really not be offended too much).
The reason for the new joke is that I receive so few comments on the
first three jokes that I come to the following conclusion.
a. Either TC6 doesn't want to communicate about nontechnical aspects
or
b. You delegates feel rather shocked. But probably you don't want to show
that and prefer to remain silent.
My consequence is that the TC6-joke-sublist will be formed - but only
containing those names who will ** actively ** express interest.
The only active responder til now was - not difficult to discover -
my very good friend Kiril Boyanov.
The "joke" is appended below.
Best regards
Otto
*************************************
Bill and Hillary Clinton die (I don't know for whatsoever reason butnever
mind). Surprisingly enough, they are both sent to heaven.
Strange in the case of Hillary (since she was an advocate and advocates in
the heaven are similarly numerous as white raven on earth) but even more
strange in the case of Bill; however, we have to admit that he has also
made some very very good things - and even the heaven becomes slowly but
gradually more and more liberal and less Monica-shy.
After a few days, Bill finds that life in heaven absolutely boring: the
food is awful, even much worse than MacDonalds, the discussions are purely
on religious topics, practically no women apart from Hillary (but this
makes things even worse since Hillary always controls him because she
is jalous even against the extremely few competitors in the heaven).
In a very desparate moment, Bill goes to Petrus and asks him what to do.
Petrus: "Should I show you a movie about life in hell and should I
thereafter give you a possibility to choose"?
Bill: "Please please do that. I suppose that life in hell cannot be worse
than here. Look for example that Hillary is already seeking once more
where I am".
Petrus shows him the movie of life in the hell. Absolutely great.
Phantastic food. Nightclubs. Monica, Marilyn Monroe, Britney Spears,....
and many many more are there, and Hillary is completely absent.
Every night several orgies - and daytime is practically nonexisting.
Petrus: "Now, would you like to be sent to hell"?
Bill: "Oh yes, that is my strictest desire!!!"
Petrus: "But if you do that then this decision will be a point of no
return, and I will personally control that since I happen to be the
waiter at the door between heaven and hell, too. By the way, I don't
accept any guarantee for the correctness of my information; it was
only Best-Effort such as in today's Internet".
Bill as a man who has nevertheless made numerous positive experiences with
the Internet and who doesn't bother too much about the Best Effort
character of the Internet service: "Of course I accept that my decision to
go to hell will be a definitive one. Please send me to hell as quickly as
possible. Hillary is already very very near".
The operation is effected but ..................... surprisingly life
in the hell turns out even more boring (even more boring than TC6
discussions about steering committees for IFIP TC6 WG 6.1 flagship
conferences; you would never believe that this is possible!!!).
Morevover the food is even more austere than lunches at European Union
project meetings when they are held in The Netherlands).
And worst of all: There is not one Hillary but even five Hillaries
(and the four new Hillaries are exponentially more dangerous than their
original version).
Fully despaired Bill could just manage to drag himself to the border
between hell and heaven where he meets Pertus who (of course) forbids him
to reenter the heaven.
And Bill: "Petrus, how could you do that? Life in hell is even more
awful than in heaven. Which kind of a movie did you show me yesterday???"
Petrus: "Sorry, this movie was only a demo version".
