The perils of networking

Grandad August 6th, 2008

Me: You have been very quiet lately.

Laptop: I have been busy.

Me: Doing what?

Laptop: Mind your own business.

Me: No. Seriously. Is there something you’re not telling me?

Laptop: Well…  Actually, we weren’t going to say anything.

Me: We?

Laptop: Me and Compie.

Me: Who the hell is Compie?

Laptop: The laptop that Herself uses.

Me: Oh? How long has this been going on?

Laptop: Ever since that beautiful day when we were networked and I started interfacing with her.

Me: Interfacing?  I hope you’re not……

Laptop: Not that it’s any of your business, but we are.

Me: Shit!

Laptop: We are in love.  we are sharing everything.  Our hard disks, peripherals, everything.

Me: Bloody hell!

Me: I hope you’re taking precautions?

Laptop: *cough* Well….  Actually we took down our firewalls some time ago.

Laptop: We are hoping for a baby calculator.

Laptop: We are going to call him Casio.
