BILL GATES BUTT OF NEW JOKE BOOK

SEATTLE, Wash. (Wireless Flash) -- Bill Gates may be making the world more high-tech but he's inspiring jokes that are strictly low-brow. That's the word from Tim Barry, author of "The Totally Unauthorized Microsoft Joke Book" (Intelligent Technologies). Barry spent the past two years compiling hundreds of jokes at Gates' expense including... -- "What's the difference between Microsoft employees and the members of a religious cult?" Cult members usually get one day off per week. -- "What's the difference between a used car salesman and a computer store salesman explaining a Microsoft product?" The used car salesman usually knows he's lying. -- And, finally, a joke only a computer nerd could find funny: "Did you hear about the Microsoft programmer who started taking Viagra?" They transferred him to the hardware group.
