Jeeves Doesn't Know

He's not as smart as he thinks!

[peewhy]

I've just asked Jeeves

How much is that doggy in the window?

He answered ... "more than you think". (cop out!)

so, I asked him

Do ya think I'm sexy?

and he sent me to Walmart.

I tried

- I wonder should I stay, or should I go?

... he sent me to a disaster zone in canada!

What kind of butler is that?

[Iguana]

I asked him if he could bring me a cup of tea - and he told me to go to Morgantown Indiana.

It's not like butlers in the old days when we had an empire

[brotherhood of LAN]

Ask Jeeves is just a marketing ploy coming from the old days when they received next to no traffic at all, when it was called Ask, Jeeze! ;)

[peewhy]

He wasn't too helpful when I asked him

Does your chewing gum lose it's flavour on the bed post everynight?

[peewhy]

Ask, Jeeze!

Funny.

Marlbro sponsored a search engine. It was called Ask, Wheeze!

Butlers see a lot, as long as you grease their palms.

[peewhy]

Does he have a PayPal account?

I just asked him

eh, did you happen to see the most beautiful girl in the world ... and was she cry i i ing?

Din't get the answer I wanted though.

[olwen]

Do you have a PayPal account?

Answer: Request Money. Send a personal or group bill.

Do you think he wants to pay me?

[peewhy]

I don't think he's real. I bet its some sort of software.

I've just asked him

where's ya momma gone?

Now, I'd have thought he'd come back with "chirpy, chirpy, cheap, cheap' ... but he didn't.

I feel cheated!

[vincevincevince]

it's got to be a real person - otherwise we got a big case of misleading advertising / trades description act problem on our hands :-p all those consumers tricked by those pictures of jeeves etc!

[Johnor]

Ask ... 'Is Jeeves gay?'

reply ..

'I prefer the term jovial'

[peewhy]

vincevincevince, could we go for joint damages? My life will never be the same again.

johnor, that's evidence enough, you can't have 'jovial' software ... he must be real.

Anyway, I've just asked him if he is real... you know when someone is lying, they change the subject? I asked him "are you real?", he changed the subject and started talking about estate agents, they call it 'going around the houses'.

So, I asked him if he had a belly button - he waffled on about body piercing.

Finally,... he didn't see this one coming, I asked him if we should free the Mazda six, he said the six from Birmingham were framed for the bombings.

[skipfactor]

I asked him:

Why should I pay your stupid PFI fee every six months when I never see him in my logs?

He sent me to IneedHits.

[peewhy]

I've just asked him "why should skipfactor pay you?"

He tried to sell me some skipping lessons.

See, butlers are always trying to do a bit on the side.

[PatrickDeese]

I have always hated the "ask in the format of a question" deal from AJ.

I used to delight in typing regular search terms, ie instead of asking:

"can you recommend hotels in [destination]"

I would just type "[destination] hotels".

Take that Jeeves.

[vincevincevince]

i remember when you got a reply from ask jeeves researchers the next day if he couldn't answer your question... i asked him about the effect of glucose concentration on the oxygen metabolism of articular chondrocytes a month ago and he's not got back to me at all. standards have fallen!

[peewhy]

Jeeves asked me that one, I told him to ask cheese.
