Try this...
Go into Microsoft word
type in "I'd sure love to see you naked" (without the quotes)
Highlight the phrase
Go to tools-language and select the thesaurus.
Scroll through the phrases that come up, and see what type of mentality microsoft has!

Edit: just found a couple more!

do the same steps as above, except type "Unable to follow directions"

type in "zzzz" (4 z's) and do a spell check!

Have fun!

The program is following blindly user's commands and tries to find related words to match the phrase.

Yes, "Unable to Follow Directions" Has everything to do with impotency, doesn't it :rolleyes:

The only reason those phrases are in there is so the Thesaurus can use them as synonyms. i.e., if you look up "Bottoms up", "I'll drink to that" is there. It just pops up when you search for "I'd love to see you naked" because "I'd love to see you naked" ISN'T one of the phrases in the Thesaurus, but "I'll drink to that" is the closest to it.

Well, whatever the reason they are in there, it's an amusing thing that those phrases bring up the ones that they do. I meant for this thread to be treated with a sense of humor. Hence the topic title, "idea of a joke", and not something more serious.

However, if some people here don't have a sense of humor, then I guess this was a futile attempt.
