It says "no new messages". So you check it again _ * Your phone bill is delivered in a box [_| * You name your children Eudora, Mozilla, .-----|--, and Dotcom / | /_\_ * All of your friends have an @ in their | |__.-| names | |__\_| * You tell the cab driver you live at '---,-,-'--' http://123.elm.street/house/bluetrim.html jgs | | * You tell the kids they can't use the computer because "Daddy's got work to do" and you don't have a job * You get a tattoo that says "This body best viewed with Netscape 3.01" * You never have to deal with the busy signals because you never log off * You ask a plumber how much it would cost to replace the chair in front of your computer with a toilet * You start tilting your head sideways whenever you smile :) * Your spouse says communication is important in a marriage, so you buy another computer and install another phone line so that the two of you can chat * As your car crashes through the guardrail on a mountain road, your first instinct is to search for the "back" button * Your computer goes down, you haven't logged in for two hours.
