If Bud Abbott
and Lou Costello were alive today, their infamous sketch, "Who`s on First?"
might have turned out something like this:

Lou.
ABBOTT: What about
Windows?
COSTELLO: Why? Will it get stuffy in
here?
ABBOTT: Do you want a computer wit h
Windows?
COSTELLO: I don`t know. What will I see when I look
at the windows?
