    Wink One Liners

    How cool are one liners? Short, concise, unexpected, funny. You can read a lot of jokes in 5 seconds.


    Here are some geek one liners, who has more?

    - I would love to change the world, but they won't give me the source code.
    - Tis better to have debugged and lost, than never to have compiled at all.
    - The best Windows accelerator is that which works at 9.81m/s2
    - With Windows you pay for the OS and get the T-shirts for free. With Linux, you get the OS for free and pay for the T-Shirts.
    - “640K ought to be enough for anybody.” - Bill Gates, 1981 (this one is actually true!)
    - <beer>Happiness</beer>
    - Computers make very fast, very accurate mistakes.
    - Microsoft gives you Windows... Linux gives you the whole house.
    - Microsoft: "You've got questions. We've got dancing paperclips."

    1. 7/5th of all people do not understand fractions.

    3. A bachelor’s life is no life for a single man.
    4. A bad plan is better than no plan.
    5. A city is a large community where people are lonesome together.
    6. A clear conscience is usually the sign of a bad memory.

    8. A day for firm decisions! Or is it?
    9. A day without sun shine is like, you know, night.
    10. A drunk mans’ words are a sober mans’ thoughts.

    Default One liners in Spanish?

    Hi, everyone!

    I love one liners, but I don't think we have those in Spanish... (BTW, I'm from Argentina). Do you think we can call all the jokes that start with "no es lo mismo" one liners?

    Here are some examples:

    No es lo mismo la tormenta se avecina, que la vecina se atormenta.
    No es lo mismo los perros de Charles Boy que, voy a echarles los perros.
    No es lo mismo, me río en el baño que me baño en el río.

    Tell me what you think!

    Ines,
    I think your "no es el mismo" one-liners are good.
    Is there a Spanish word for "one-liners" ?

    One of my favourites :
    Is it true that cannibals don't eat clowns because they taste funny ?

    I don't think there is a Spanish name for "one-liners", at least not in Argentina....

    Cheers!
