Computer with all the answers

    Read this yesterday.

    A salesman had a new super computer on demo at a convention and claimed it could answer all questions. People were coming up to it all day, asking it Maths and geographical questions and were amazed. A smartass decided he'd show the computer up, so he asked the computer "Where's my dad?"

    The computer replied "Your dad is working in a bar in Dublin"

    "Ha" replied the man "My dad died 10 years ago!"

    Embarrassed, the salesman told the man that maybe if he rephrased the question

    "OK, where is my mother's husband" he asked...

    "Your mother's husband is dead, but your dad is still working in a bar in Dublin"

    Or he could have asked you to make a witty comment, either way the computer would be speechless.
