Dear Receiver

You have just received an Irish Virus.

Since we are not so technologically advanced in Ireland this is a MANUAL virus.

Please delete all files on your hard disc yourself and send this e-mail to everyone you know.

That'll be grand, tanx

Carried out your instructions, except I e-mailed everyone first, then deleted everything.

Can't believe I got another virus.

Just what I needed, another virus. This one sounds just like the blonde virus someone sent me. Wonder if it was a blonde Irishman who wrote it?

I took my computer to the emergency room, and they said it looked fine, but they ran a few tests anyway. Seems it hadn't been given the basic shots, so I scheduled an appointment to get that taken care of. But then a nurse told me it had to refrain from any strenuous exercise for 24 hours prior to the shots, and I told her that was silly, everyone knows a computer is supposed to thrive on running. Then an orderly came in and accused me of an illegal operation, and said he was going to call Bill Gates.
Well, I don't have enough money to hire lawyers to defend me and my computer against Bill, so I sneaked out an open back door and ran Home. In the excitement, I forgot to take the EKG thingies off, so soon the phone was ringing and it was the ER accusing us of piracy. We're hoping to catch a virtual flight to Lower Slobbovia, where no one has any idea about these viruses and maybe we can recover from your dadburn homemade virus.

My computer has been suffering from the Amish virus version 1568 for several years now and I just keep getting little black bonnet icons saying "cooking lasts, kissing don't" and "know thy horse dealer" and now I suppose this leprecaun that's dancing around interrupting my seriuos thought proccesses is going to bedevil me until the shamrocks germinate and the whiskey ages....

This is so funny. I've never seen the amish version, but I'm thinking maybe it's handwritten?

Actually, JSS, it is powered by kerosene lamps. They light the slates on which the code is written. But being practical folk, the Amish use a unique distribution system, known as borrowing a ride on the conveyance of non-Amish people, the unsuspecting carriers. They could never use computers and peripherals, because they don't use buttons, just pins.
