Siri Divided by Zero

The funniest thing I’ve heard lately came from a computer and, for the record, wasn’t even remotely related to Arnold Schwarzenegger. Though on a side note, a terminator that looks at home in an AARP meeting is kinda funny. No, this was something Siri said. You know Siri, the computer voice who answers your questions for Apple. Try asking her, “What is zero divided by zero?” The answer is brilliant. She says, “Imagine that you have zero cookies and you split them evenly among zero friends. How many cookies does each person get? See, it doesn’t make sense. And Cookie Monster is sad that he has no cookies. And you are sad that you have no friends.” And I am sad Siri is funnier than Jay Leno. Perhaps she should have taken over for Johnny Carson. I wonder what she says when David Letterman asks, “Who hosts the Tonight Show?”
