If Abbott and Costello were alive today

[king310]

If  Bud Abbott and Lou Costello were alive today, their infamous sketch,  'Who's on First?' might have turned out something like  this:

COSTELLO CALLS TO BUY A COMPUTER FROM  ABBOTT
ABBOTT:  Super Duper computer store.  Can I help you?
COSTELLO: Thanks I'm setting up an office in my den and I'm thinking  about buying a computer.
ABBOTT: Mac?
COSTELLO: No, the name's Lou.
ABBOTT: Your computer?
COSTELLO: I don't own a computer. I want to buy  one.
ABBOTT:  Mac?
COSTELLO: I told you, my name's Lou.
ABBOTT: What about Windows?
COSTELLO: Why? Will it get stuffy in here?
ABBOTT: Do you want a computer with Windows?
COSTELLO: I don't know. What will I see when I look atthe  windows?
ABBOTT:  Wallpaper.
COSTELLO: Never mind the windows.. I need a computer and  software.
ABBOTT:  Software for  Windows?
COSTELLO:  No. On the computer! I need  something I can use to write proposals, track expenses and run my  business. What do you have?
ABBOTT: Office.
COSTELLO: Yeah, for my office. Can you recommend  anything?
ABBOTT:  I just did.
COSTELLO: You just did what?
ABBOTT: Recommend something.
COSTELLO: You recommended something?
ABBOTT: Yes.
COSTELLO: For my office?
ABBOTT: Yes.
COSTELLO: OK, what did you recommend for my office?
ABBOTT: Office.
COSTELLO: Yes, for my office!
ABBOTT: I recommend Office with Windows.
COSTELLO: I already have an office with windows! OK, let's just say  I'm sitting at my computer and I want to type a proposal. What do I need? 
ABBOTT:  Word.
COSTELLO: What word?
ABBOTT: Word in Office.
COSTELLO: The only word in office is office.
ABBOTT: The Word in Office for Windows.
COSTELLO: Which word in office for windows?
ABBOTT: The Word you get when you click the blue  'W'.
COSTELLO:  I'm going to click your blue  'w' if you don't start with some straight answers. What about financial  bookkeeping? You have anything I can track my money with?
ABBOTT: Money.
COSTELLO: That's right. What do you have?
ABBOTT: Money.
COSTELLO: I need money to track my money?
ABBOTT: It comes bundled with your computer.
COSTELLO: What's bundled with my computer?
ABBOTT: Money.
COSTELLO: Money comes with my computer?
ABBOTT: Yes. No extra charge.
COSTELLO: I get a bundle of money with my computer? How  much?
ABBOTT:  One copy.
COSTELLO: Isn't it illegal to copy money?
ABBOTT: Microsoft gave us a license to copy Money.
COSTELLO: They can give you a license to copy money?
ABBOTT: Why not? THEY OWN IT!
(A few days later)
ABBOTT:  Super Duper computer store.  Can I help you?
COSTELLO: How do I turn my computer off?
ABBOTT: Click on 'START'......

I remember visiting the studio where they filmed the Red Green show about a dozen or so years ago. If memory serves me right, was it not filmed in London Ontario?

I use to watch it all the time on PBS. They even performed at the Iowa state Fair a few years back. I always like how he would make things using duck tape.
What made me think of it was dirtriders post on his inventions. Then I saw this on youtube which scared the pajesus out of me.
