more y2k humor -- rec.humor.funny Newsgroups: rec.humor.funny From: dpbsmith@world.std.com (Daniel P. B. Smith) Subject: While others fail to plan, the MBTA plans to fail Keywords: smirk, true Date: Wed, 18 Feb 98 19:30:03 EST The Boston Globe (Friday, February 13th, 1998, p. B5) reports that the MBTA (our local transit authority) "faces a 'year-2000' problem. That is when computers programmed only for dates in the 20th century may shut down or go bonkers because they will not recognize the shorthand '00' date as 2000." It goes on to report that "the MBTA board directors approved a ... five-year program to fix the problem." -- Selected by Jim Griffith. MAIL your joke to funny@clari.net.
