Post like this make me stay away from DU for a while. I remember when DU was worthwhile ...

IMNSHO, the OP is geek humor at its finest.

There was a reason for this post.
Posts like this might make you stay away from DU, but then you won't understand posts like this.

Does everything have to be serious or related to politics? Maybe we can just try to have a little fun once in a while.

this is carrying on disputes from another thread. There is, however, lots of fun to be had in the lounge.

and I plan to tweet about it RIGHT NOW.

Outraged tweets are useless without photos.

I'm having a hard time telling my sexism's apart these days.

We need to remember that some people get hurt easily and need protected (especially protected against those who would open doors, god those are the worst. Where were they educated, hill billy land?).

We need to be some knights in shining armor and save people from words they don't like.

Like dongle. We need a DU filter to cross out that word or change it to 'Bunny'. Someone could hurt having that word dangling around all the time.

Now I have to get back to my drone, got some kids to kill in a foreign land who might be friends with al qaeda. I know it is not as important as dongles, but someone has to do it.

The bartender asks "Would you like some wine?"

Descartes replies "I think not", and disappears.

Hold the door!

pffft

"I'll take two ports. I'm a parallel port dongle."

Who says the Lounge has to have all the fun anyway?

One if by LAN, two if by C:

so it's C:.

Userfriendly.org nailed it.

A dongle is only active when plugged into an active port. And not only that, a dongle can then have its own active port.
Computer can be fun sometimes. Other times, not so much.

"A dongle is only active when plugged into an active port"
Sounds remarkably descriptive of certain items in the male inventory.

No sex threads, remember?

It often takes 8 dongles at once.

A pilot is flying a small, single-engine, charter plane with a couple of really important executives on board into Seattle airport. There is fog so thick that visibility is 40 feet, and his instruments are out. He circles looking for a landmark and after an hour, he is low on fuel and his passengers are very nervous. At last, through a small opening in the fog he sees a tall building with one guy working alone on the fifth floor.

Circling, the pilot banks and holds up a piece of cardboard with the question: "Hey, where am I?". The solitary office worker holds up a sign in marker that says: "You're in an airplane.".

The pilot immediately executes a swift 275 degree turn and executes a perfect blind landing on the airport's runway five miles away. Just as the plane stops, the engines cough and die from lack of fuel. The stunned passengers ask the pilot how he did it.

"Elementary," replies the pilot, "I asked the guy in that building a simple question. The answer he gave me was 100% correct but absolutely useless; therefore, I knew that must be Microsoft's support office and from there the airport is three minutes away on a course of 87 degrees."

The 2° correction for the wind maybe?

and I am not surprised they got fired.

You're doublin' down.
