OK, I had to run to a popular electronics store today for a few small items ($2.60 worth). Well, if you know who I am talking about (think about a store that has been around for a while, but no longer carries small electronics parts, and their PC line died a horrible death), you know that they ask for your name/address/phone number on all purchases so they can send you junk in the mail. Anyway, the clerk ask me for my info. I said:
First name - Mike
Last Name - Hunt
Address is 1 west 0 south Uke Road (pronounced You-Kay)
City is Usukkoc (pronounced You-soowk-koowk)
State is Kansas
Zip is 31337
Phone is 411-555-1212

He didn't get the joke even after he typed it in and read it back to me to verify:
Mike Hunt
1w0s Suke Rd
Usukkoc KS 31337
411-555-1212

For those that still didn't get it, select the whitespace below for a description:
Mike Hunt (say this fast)
1w0s Suke Rd (I was suckered)
Usukkoc KS (You suck c**ks)
31337 (geek notation for eleet using numeric substitution)
411-555-1212 (dial 411 for Directory Assistance, 555-1212 is the same)


Sorry, just a little geek humor.

Another one to try on web sites that require you to give your email address before getting to where you want to go is to give webmaster@.com or sales@ or hr@ or the like. Then select all the boxes that say 'Yes, please send me all of your marketing garbage'.

Also, funny thing about the 411-555-1212 phone number (I use 555-1212 a lot). I was at a computer store that asks you for your phone number. I gave their local area code+555-1212. The sales clerk didn't even blink an eye. The person in line in back of me chuckled. As I was gathering my stuff to leave, he was checking out and gave the same phone number. The sales clerk said 'Hey, that is also his phone number'. The customer was also quick-witted and said 'Yeah - we work at the same company'. Of course, I then turned around and said 'Oh hi, I didn't see you there...'. I can just imagine this clerk watching a movie where a phone number pops up and thinking 'wow - that is a popular number'.
