Abbott and Costello Sell Computers

 


If Bud Abbott and Lou Costello were alive today, their infamous Sketch, “Who’s on First?” might have turned out something like this:


COSTELLO CALLS TO BUY A COMPUTER FROM ABBOTT


ABBOTT: Super Duper computer store. Can I help you?   

   

COSTELLO:  Thanks.  I’m setting up an office in my den and I’m thinking about buying a computer. 


ABBOTT:  Mac? 

 

COSTELLO: No, the name’s Lou. 


ABBOTT: Your computer?


COSTELLO: I don’t own a computer. I want to buy one.


ABBOTT:  Mac?


COSTELLO: I told you, my name’s Lou.


ABBOTT: What about Windows?


COSTELLO:  Why?? Will it get stuffy in here?


ABBOTT: Do you want a computer with Windows?


COSTELLO: I don’t know. What will I see when I look at the Windows?


ABBOTT: Wall paper.

COSTELLO: Never mind the windows. I need a computer and software.


ABBOTT:  Software for Windows?


COSTELLO: No. On the computer! I need something I can use to write proposals, track expenses and run my business.  What do you have?     

    
ABBOTT: Office. 


COSTELLO:  Yeah, for my office. Can you recommend anything?


ABBOTT: I just did.


COSTELLO: You just did what?


ABBOTT:  Recommend something.


COSTELLO: You recommended something?


ABBOTT: Yes.


COSTELLO: For my office?


ABBOTT:  Yes. 


COSTELLO: OK, what did you recommend for my office?


ABBOTT:  Office.


COSTELLO: Yes, for my office!


ABBOTT: I recommend Office with Windows.


COSTELLO:  I already have an office with windows! OK, let’s just say I’m sitting at my computer and I want to type a proposal. What do I need? 


ABBOTT:  Word. 


COSTELLO: What word?


ABBOTT: Word in Office.


COSTELLO: The only word in office is office.


ABBOTT: The Word in Office for Windows.


COSTELLO:  Which word in office for windows?


ABBOTT: The Word you get when you click the blue “W”.


COSTELLO: I’m going to click your blue “w” if you don’t start with some straight answers.  What about financial bookkeeping? You have anything I can track my money with?

ABBOTT:  Money.

COSTELLO:  That’s right. What do you have?

ABBOTT:  Money.


COSTELLO: I need money to track my money?

ABBOTT: It comes bundled with your computer.

COSTELLO:  What’s bundled with my computer?

ABBOTT:  Money.

COSTELLO:  Money comes with my computer?

ABBOTT: Yes.  No extra charge.

COSTELLO: I get a bundle of money with my computer? How much?

ABBOTT: One copy.

COSTELLO:  Isn’t it illegal to copy money?

ABBOTT: Microsoft gave us a license to copy Money.

COSTELLO:  They can give you a license to copy money?

ABBOTT: Why not? THEY OWN IT!


(A few days later)

ABBOTT: Super Duper computer store. Can I help you?

COSTELLO:  How do I turn my computer off?

ABBOTT:  Click on “START”.............
