It's Al Lowe's CyberJoke 3000
CyberJokester Jesse Linden found a web page devoted to "Johnny Castaway," the unique, fun screensaver that Sierra published back in the early 90s. Not your usual screensaver, it told a story of a man stranded on a desert island who did numerous interesting ways to while away his time when you weren't using your computer. It's now a free download, complete with tips to make it run under modern OSs.

Today's CyberJoke 3000
Brad Pitt is good looking, rich, famous, Oscar-nominated, and sleeps with Angelina Jolie. What did this guy do? Pull a thorn out of God's paw?!
It was time for the country preacher's teenage son to choose a profession. Like many young men his age, the boy didn't know what he wanted to do and wasn't too concerned about it so his father tried an experiment. He placed four objects on the boy's desk: a Bible; a silver dollar; a bottle of whiskey; and a Playboy magazine. Then he hid behind the door to see which object he picked up first. He thought, "If he picks the Bible, he'll be a preacher like me and what a blessing that would be! If he picks the dollar, he'll be a businessman and that would be okay, too. But if he picks the bottle, he'll be a drunk and that would be a shame. And if he picks the magazine, he'll be a womanizer." Soon the boy was home from school, tossed his books on the bed, and then spotted the new objects on his desk. He looked them all over and first picked up the Bible and placed it under his arm. He then picked up the silver dollar and put it in his pocket. He uncorked the bottle and took a big swig, while admiring the magazine's centerfold. "Damn!" thought the preacher. "He's gonna run for Congress!"
