May 30, 2014 - We interrupt this comp-sci class for some IT

While I'm teaching each Tom, Sue and Tony,
A guy showed me his phone: it acts stony.
All his problems I'd quell.
'Twas my own show and tell.
Now they know what I teach isn't phony.

May 29, 2014 - Believe it or not, they called this 'Just-In-Time'

There are tickets lost. Hey! What the zuck?
A solution I'll find with some luck.
Attach brushes like all
Escalators in malls,
Keeping little old ladies unstuck.

May 28, 2014 - And you thought YOUR IT director was a problem

"Email's foul, for its speed I don't like.
It's a gutter move! Go take a hike."
I'm no thief! That I swear!
We've got funding to spare!
Could some lightning on him make a strike?

May 27, 2014 - Well, what else does IT have to keep busy?

"I need help," was the manager's plea.
Put a mic in that phone so we'll see
Just how loud that guy is."
I then thought, "Well, gee whiz.
NSA does that stuff, and it's free..."

May 26, 2014 - And maybe a few seconds on what Perl is, too?

Print some code? I would give it a whirl.
Where'd it go? This is making me hurl.
Said that lady, "Now look,
It prints gobbledygook."
"It's not gobbledygook! It's called perl!"

#!/usr/bin/perl
my $forget = 0;
while ($forget != 1) {
print "Thank you to all our veterans for their
sacrifices./n";}
# $forget must never equal 1
