Two medical representatives were sitting in a doctor’s waiting room.
Both are fiddling on a flat device on their lap.
“You have an iPad?”
“Yep.”
“Happy with it?”
“Yep. Great gadget. Love the video streaming. Helps pass the time while waiting for the doctor to sell him our new antibiotic. You a Samsung?”
“Yes, I am an Android man.”
“You’re sure?”
“The screen is great, the internet is really fast, and I can work on my mail. Fill in my visit reports.”
“Right. You bought it yourself, or did the company buy it for you?”
“It is the standard equipment of sales at Sanofi. Did you buy it yourself?”
“No, at Novartis, it is part of the package.”
“It is the New Normal for sales people. I wouldn’t know what to do without my Galaxy.”
“iPad is better though.”
“That is not true.”
“Apple is superior.”
“Android is open.”
“Apple has iTunes.”
“Android has a market share of 73,4%.”
“What do you get if you cross an iPhone and a fridge?”
“No idea.”
“Cool music! Do you know the joke about the iPad and the Galaxy engineers who went to a conference?”
“Tell me.”
“Three iPad engineers and three Samsung Galaxy Tab engineers are about to board a train to a computer conference. The Samsung Galaxy Tab engineers notice that the iPad engineers bought only one ticket between them.
The Samsung Galaxy Tab engineers ask the iPad engineers how they plan on getting to the conference.
‘Watch and learn,’ one of the iPad engineers tells them. As soon as the train leaves the station, the three iPad engineers rush from their seats and all squeeze into one restroom. When the conductor comes through the car he knocks on the restroom door and says ‘ticket please!’
The door opens a crack and the one ticket is handed to the conductor. The Samsung Galaxy Tab engineers are impressed, and decide that’s what they will do on the trip back. Then on the return trip, the Samsung Galaxy Tab engineers notice that the iPad engineers haven’t bought any tickets.
‘How do you plan on getting home without any tickets?’ they ask.
‘Watch and learn,’ one of the iPad engineers tells them. As soon as the train leaves the station, the three Samsung Galaxy Tab engineers hurry for the restroom. A few moments later, one of the iPad engineers gets up from his seat, knocks on the restroom door and says, ‘ticket please!’”
“Nice one!”

“Do you know the joke about the mobile phone?
“Was it a Samsung or an iPhone?”
“Think it was a Nokia. Several men were in a golf club locker room. A mobile phone rings. ‘Yes I can talk,’ says the man answering the call, ‘You’re shopping are you? That’s nice.’
The listening men smile to each other.
‘You want to order those new carpets? Okay… And they’ll include the curtains for an extra five thousand?… Sure, why not?’
More smiles among the listeners.
‘You want to book that week on Necker Island?… They’re holding the price at twenty-two thousand?… Sounds a bargain… You want a fortnight?… If that’s what you want honey, okay by me.’
Smiles turn to expressions of mild envy.
‘And you want to give the builder the go-ahead for the new conservatory? Seventy-five thousand if we say yes today? Sounds fair… sure, that’s fine.’
The listeners exchange glances of amazement.
‘Okay sugar, see you later… Yes, love you too,’ says the man, ending the call.
He looks at the other men and says, ‘Whose phone is this anyway?…’”
