Post Windows Haikus 1 
The haikus on sleep apnea make me laugh. They remind me of these wonderful Windows haikus:

Windows error message                         Haiku error message
File not found.                                                       Your file was so big.
                                                                             It might be very useful.
                                                                             But now it is gone.
