Jungle virus?! I only went to buy vegetables!

🤭😂 Tom and the Digital World

Tom was a simple man, but his confidence was very high. He believed that in today’s world, the biggest teacher is not a doctor or a professor, but Google.

One morning, Tom woke up and felt a little fever. Normal people go to a doctor. But Tom picked up his phone and searched on Google:

“Why am I feeling hot?”

In less than a second, Google showed many answers:

“You may have viral fever… dehydration… stress… or a rare jungle virus.”

Tom became scared.

“Jungle virus? But yesterday I only went to buy vegetables!”

His friend Peter came to visit him.

Peter said, “Come, let’s go to the doctor.”

Tom replied seriously, “Doctors are old-fashioned. Google knows everything.”

Peter laughed, “Did Google study medicine?”

Tom said proudly, “After every update, anything is possible.”

After two hours, Tom searched again. This time he made a spelling mistake. Now Google showed:

“You may transform into an unknown species.”

Tom’s eyes became big.

“Unknown species? Does that mean… alien?”

For three days, he stayed at home wearing a mask. His mother asked,

“What are you doing?”

Tom said, “If I become an alien, please don’t panic.”

His mother picked up her slipper and said,

“I will make you human again!”

After three days, his fever went away by itself. Tom smiled proudly.

“See? Google was right.”

Peter said, “No, most fevers go away on their own.”

😜😜📦 The Online Shopping Problem

One day, Tom saw an online sale — “Flat 80% Off.”

He ordered a stylish jacket. In the picture, the model was tall and looked very cool.

When the parcel arrived, Tom opened it excitedly.

The jacket was so long that it almost touched his knees.

He looked in the mirror and said,

“Is this a jacket or a tent?”

He called customer care.

They said, “Sir, this is size M.”

Tom replied, “Is the model medium or am I medium?”

Customer care said, “Sir, it is an oversized fashion trend.”

Now children in his neighborhood laugh and say,

“Are you going camping?”

😝😝 The Gym Adventure

On New Year, Tom made a resolution:

“This year I will build a strong body.”

He joined a gym. The trainer asked,

“What is your goal?”

Tom said proudly, “Six-pack abs.”

The trainer looked at Tom’s stomach and then looked at the calendar.

He said, “This will take time.”

On the first day, Tom went on the treadmill.

After two minutes, he said,

“Is this machine fast or is life fast?”

The trainer gave him dumbbells.

Tom lifted them and his hands started shaking.

“Is this a dumbbell or a gas cylinder?”

The next day, he posted on social media:

“Joined gym. My body has resigned.”

After three days, his gym card stayed safely inside the cupboard.

😜😜🤖 Fear of AI

One day, Tom heard on the news that OpenAI created an AI that can write, speak, and do many jobs.

Tom became worried.

“Oh no! Now I will lose my job.”

From the kitchen, his mother said,

“First get a job.”

Tom became silent.

He asked the AI,

“What is the purpose of my life?”

The AI replied,

“Loading…”

Tom quickly closed his phone and said,

“Good. Even AI does not know.”

😜😜🎓 The Exam Story

One time, Tom had an exam. The question was:

“Explain the importance of honesty.”

Tom wrote:

“Honesty is important because if I lie, I will get caught.”

The teacher gave him full marks and wrote,

“At least you were honest.”

Tom said proudly,

“See? Simple thinking is real intelligence.”

😀😀😀😀😄 The Final Truth

Even today, Tom searches every problem on Google, keeps his gym card safely, and gets excited when he sees online sales.

Maybe he will never become an alien.

Maybe he will never get six-pack abs.

But one thing is sure —

His life will always be full of comedy.

And Peter always says,

“Tom, you are not a problem… you are content!” 😄😀😀😀
