Over the years, I've received a lot of humorous material, either items I've found on the Internet myself or things that people sent to me over e-mail. I'm slowly putting the best items here. Most of the stuff is rated G or PG; a few do have the potential to be offensive to some people, however. Please don't read something if you think it's going to upset you! Important Note: none of these items are original. I simply take e-mail and reformat it in HTML. I strip out mail headers and extraneous forwarding characters, but I leave the author credits alone, where they exist. If there is no credit, I don't know the original source. Non-computer related humorThese items should be funny to anyone, without any specific technical knowledge.

Technical humorThese items will be most funny to people with technical backgrounds, since some of the references make no sense without that background. I think they are probably funny even without that background, but no promises. At the very least, you can see how we geeks think...
