Costello calls to buy a computer from Abbott


abott-costello 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:
Wallpaper.
 
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’………….
