Try to miss the keyboard with the coffee. Tune for maximum smoke is not
a desirable thing.  Bv)=

I dug my little 3.5" calculator out the hell box yesterday .... guess
what? It still works. One of my brother's grandkids asked me what that
was.

So I explained that it was a calculator built to look like a floppy
disk - and we were off to the races. He's never seen storage devices 
other than USB sticks or micro-SD cards (in his smart-ass phone).

... Why is "bra" singular and "panties" plural?
