A Joke a day keeps the doctor away (26-01-13) - Alarm/Alert!



Alert/Alarm!
There was this very rich man who built a big mansion and resort in a remote but picturesque environment. He had installed an alarm/alert system all over the mansion. In the front entrance there were cameras with video feeds going into a computer software program that has facial recognition capabilities. If he had guests, the faces of the guests are fed into the system for easy recognition.

So, for the fun of it, if he received unexpected guests, the system was designed to send an appropriate signal. The signal depends on how beautiful or ugly the face is: beautiful/handsome face gets a sweat melody while an ugly face gets a harsh warning message.

One of the man’s friends paid him a visit. The friend was curious. He wanted to find out the signals sent for previous guests.
‘Chief, when you received Genevieve (beautiful actress), what was the signal?’
‘Cool Celine Dion music. Lovely.’
‘What about Donald Duke (handsome politician)?’
‘Cool Lionel Richie track played.’
‘What about Weird MC (ugly musician)?
‘We heard harsh sounds: Please, be advised, there is a possible intruder approaching.’
‘Really…! What about Adams Oshiomhole (ugly politician)?’
‘We heard: Please, be advised a militant on a khaki outfit is approaching the perimeter.’
‘Really, what about Taribo West and Baba (wowo squared)?’
‘Well, the system crashed. We battled for months to fix it. Before it crashed, it kept sounding a very loud warning: This is an emergency. Unidentifiable aliens are on the approach. This system is going into lock-down. I repeat: Lock-down  Lock-down  This is not a drill.’
