Here's my variation of the rest of the joke.
COSTELLO: How do I turn my computer off?
ABBOTT: Click on "START".......
COSTELLO: START my computer? I just want to turn it off.
ABBOTT: No to go to START then Shutdown the computer.
COSTELLO: Does this mean that I have to shutdown the computer to
start it?
ABBOTT: No it means you have to START the Computer to shut it
down.
COSTELLO: But START means START right?
ABBOTT: In Windows it means START Windows
COSTELLO: But I just want to turn the computer off not START
Windows.
ABBOTT: START in Windows also lets you turn the computer off.
COSTELLO: But don't I have to START Windows in order to shut it
down.
ABBOTT: Yes!
COSTELLO: Now you tell me!

The only reason I'm not laughing at this is that joke is older than I
am.
Well not that old but fairly old but don't let that stop you. It use to
be
every Friday someone would submit a joke & that hasn't happened in
quite a
while but I don't know why.
