THE MILLENIUM BUG
It seems that computer programs are full of "bugs," so named because that's what many software engineers look like. And, the worst bug is the Y2K, which, if left unaddressed, could result in the following calamities:
Bill Clinton might be constitutionally eligible to run for a third term.
Chevy might bring back the Vega.
Airlines might accidentally install seats large enough for people to sit in.
Due to a crash in their phone systems, you could call a bank and wind up talking to a person instead of a recording.
The White House might start charging drug dealers the wrong rate for a night in the Lincoln Bedroom.
As the ball drops on New Year's Eve in Times Square in New York, it might get stuck, meaning Dick Clark would be on television forever.
Kenneth Starr would lose all of his data and have to start his investigation over from scratch.
Your VCR would stop blinking MIDNIGHT MIDNIGHT MIDNIGHT and start blinking NOON NOON NOON.
Tony Orlando might decide the time is right for a comeback.
If you are one of those people who have trouble adjusting to Daylight Savings Time, imagine the headaches you'll have to endure when we start the 1900's all over again!
Probably the worst fear people have about Y2K is that the banks will lose all of their data and no one will be able to get money out. To prevent this, some experts are recommending withdrawing large amounts of cash and stuffing your mattress with it, which sounds to me like a pretty good way to guarantee a back ache. Here's a better idea... withdraw your money, and send it to me. I promise I won't lose it to the Y2K bug. I can't promise about the MasterCard and Visa bug, but better the bug you know than the one you don't, I always say.
