Fighting against the machine.

DOH!

My whizzbang gizmo card at work don't work anymore. :(
No, that's not entirely true. It still works, but it's telling me lies.

This is the card that gets me back into the computer systems, after I leave my desk.
It tells me 'Hey Homer, try this password: IMBECILE'.
So I type that in and the computer laughs at me and impersonates 'The Count' from Sesame St.
'HA, HA, HA - That's One. One password violation! ah ah ah ah ah!'
DOH!
'Sorry Homer. I miscalculated', the card says. 'Try this password: MORON'
'HA, HA, HA - That's Two. Two password violations! ah ah ah ah ah!'
DOH! DOH!
'How about you type in: CLUELESS'
I don't even trust the card anymore, but what can I do?
'HA, HA, HA - That's Three. Three password violations! ah ah ah ah ah! Three strikes! You are OUT!'
DOH! DOH! DOH!

So I take my card to the security desk and ask them for a new one - one that doesn't mock me as much.
They say 'Sure Homer' and give me another card. 'But you have to keep the old card as well. You'll need that to get into the building'
DOH!
So I take my new card and my old card back to my desk. And try my new card.
'Yawn....sorry bud...', it says. 'You need to get someone to activate me first'
DOH!
So I take my new card and my old card to the CardMaster around the block.
She zaps the new card and it wakes up.
So I take my new card and my old card back to my desk. And try the new card.
'Hey bud! Your new password is: TAKEN4aRIDE'
So I type that in. And the computer throws a pie in my face and laughs.
' What are you trying to do Homer? Your logon has been suspended because of password violations! ah ah ah ah ah!'
doh...
So I take my new card and my old card to the CardMaster around the block. It's past 4 o'clock. She's gone already home.
<sigh>
