American comedian Mark Normand posted a WiFi joke on Twitter on February 4, 2010:
 
“Churches never have wifi… I guess no church wants to compete with an invisible power that actually works.”
 
Normand posted the joke again—slightly differently—on Twitter on June 25, 2012:
 
“You never see a church with free wifi. I guess because no church wants to compete with an invisible power that actually works.”
   
The joke has been printed on an ecard.
 
 
Wikipedia: Wi-Fi
Wi-Fi or WiFi (/ˈwaɪfaɪ/) is a technology for wireless local area networking with devices based on the IEEE 802.11 standards. Wi-Fi is a trademark of the Wi-Fi Alliance, which restricts the use of the term Wi-Fi Certified to products that successfully complete interoperability certification testing.
 
Devices that can use Wi-Fi technology include personal computers, video-game consoles, phones and tablets, digital cameras, smart TVs, digital audio players and modern printers. Wi-Fi compatible devices can connect to the Internet via a WLAN and a wireless access point. Such an access point (or hotspot) has a range of about 20 meters (66 feet) indoors and a greater range outdoors. Hotspot coverage can be as small as a single room with walls that block radio waves, or as large as many square kilometres achieved by using multiple overlapping access points.

My best payday as a comic was: I got three grand once to roast a hedge-fund company for 10 minutes.
Best one-liner: You never see a church with free Wi-Fi, probably because no church wants to compete with an invisible power that actually works.
