Living today without an internet connection, especially wi-fi, is almost impossible. So much so, in public places, like restaurants, there is free wi-fi. However, to use them, we usually need to get the password, which we can only get if we become a patron. Even then, some customers frown upon this practice of luring business while offering free internet. After all, for some, the internet has become a basic human commodity. With that being said, the internet recently had a glorious laugh after encountering a wi-fi joke that took advantage of such a situation. After reading it, you might find it to be a very clever play, rather than a shrewd way of doing business. Intellect breeds humor, after all. So, here’s the joke:
A man goes into a bar at the airport and asks the bartender what the password is to their wi-fi.
–Reddit
Bartender: You need to buy a drink first.
Man: Ok, I’ll buy a coke.
Bartender: Is Pepsi ok?
Man: Sure. How much is that?
Bartender: $3
Man: There you go. So, what’s the password?
Bartender: You need to buy a drink first. No spaces, all lowercase.
Did you get it? If you did not, the password for the connection was “youneedtobuyadrinkfirst”. However, since it also doubles as a phrase, and given the situation, the man made a purchase he did not need to! It’s a very clever wi-fi joke, courtesy of the bartender. Anyway, here are a few more tech jokes that might suit your humor if you found this wi-fi joke amusing:
1. Autocorrect
Autocorrect can be a horrible menace. But if you know how to play with it, you can get some pretty funny puns out of it. Here are 4 of them:
- Autocorrect can go straight to he’ll. —Constance Normandeau
- We’ll we’ll we’ll…if it isn’t autocorrect.
- Autocorrect has become my worst enema.
- Thanks to autocorrect, 1 in 5 children will be getting a visit from Satan this Christmas.
2. Biggest Computer Lie
Most of us have had to install some sort of application on our computers at some point in time. Each time, we have had to check a box to get the option to install them too. That’s where this joke comes in:
Q. What is the biggest lie in the entire universe?
A. “I have read and agree to the Terms & Conditions.”
3. Not Big Enough
If you don’t know, the division of bytes when it comes to sizes in data goes up in multiples of 1024. So this means 1024 bytes = 1 kilobytes; 1024 kilobytes = 1 megabyte; and so on. Keeping that in mind, here’s another clever tech joke:
Have you heard of that new band “1023 Megabytes”? They’re pretty good, but they don’t have a gig just yet.
4. Office Work
When it comes to creating documents on the computer, there is no software more popular than Microsoft Office. However, their names do give an opportunity to spin some humorous tech jokes:
1st Person: Do you know how to use Outlook?
2nd Person: As a matter of fact, I Excel at it.
1st Person: Was that a Microsoft Office pun?
2nd Person: Word.
5. Getting The Right E-Mail
With so many users on the internet, we hardly ever get the email ids we wish for. This means we have to come up with some interesting abbreviations to ensure the final one remains relevant to our real identities.
Here are a few examples:
I’m employed at a computer security company and have a colleague whose name is M. Alware. His e-mail address is [email protected]. My ex-boss’s name is R. Stone. His e-mail was [email protected]. My name is James Pan. Every other permutation of my name was taken (e.g., jpan, jamesp), so I’m stuck with [email protected].
So, did these tech jokes bring a smile to your face? If you like them, feel free to share them with your friends and family!
