I overheard part of a conversion from the next cubicle ending with one of the programmers saying something about sticking a cucumber into someone’s PC. I asked if I had heard what I thought I had heard. I guess that there was some kind of unknown CD and he was trying to make a point about installing unknown software or something else into a PC. I was visualizing some kind of specific geek fetish porn. (Okay, “Hard Drive".” “RAM me!” I guess that there are a few obvious jumping off points here.)
The programmer then went on to state that someone he knew years ago had tried to make a point about safe computing that involved bringing in condoms and 3 1/2” diskettes. I said that sounded fine, but when they were excited, they presumably turned into 5 1/4”. It got a chuckle and a groan. I expressed gratitiude since I had been waiting YEARS to use that one. And how many people would get floppy diskette humor at this point anyway??
