Some jokes are so simple they are irresistible. Here is one for anyone who has ever dealt with a computer problem: Why did the computer go to the doctor?
The answer
Because it had a virus!
The joke is a play on the word virus. A person might visit a doctor because of a viral infection. Computers, meanwhile, can be affected by malicious software commonly called a computer virus. Mixing the two meanings creates the punchline.
Of course, a real computer with malware needs security tools and technical help, not a medical appointment. But that is what makes the riddle funny.
Share this easy joke with someone who loves a good old-fashioned pun, and see whether they guess the answer before you tell them.
