One day two scientists were quarrelling about whose watch was better, the German one or the Japanese one. Since they were scientists, they decided to do an experiment to test the watches. They went into their lab and filled a basin with water, put the watches in, waited for 20 minutes and took them out.
They could see there was something wrong with both watches. They observed them for several hours before speaking to each other. They both silently found that the German watch was losing 60 minutes and the Japanese are doubled that.
The scientist with the Japanese watch then slowly raised his head and said, "Both watch are out of work, but my watch is right more often than yours, so it’s better." The scientist with the German watch went home without saying a word.

for a ticket to New York and the girl in the ticket office said, "I’m sorry, I
can’t sell you a ticket. Our computer is down." "If your computer is down, just write me out a ticket." "I can’t write you out a ticket. The computer is the only one allowed to do so." I looked down on the computer and every passenger was just standing there staring at the black screen. Then I asked her, "What do all you people do’ "We give the computer the information about your trip, and then it tells us whether you can fly with us or not." "So when it goes down, you go down with it." "That’s good, sir. ’ "How long will the computer be down" I wanted to know. "I have no idea. There’s no way we can find out without asking the computer."
