- Why E-Mail Is Like a Penis?
- * In the long-distant past, its only purpose was to transmit information
- considered vital to the survival of the species. Some people still
- think that's the only thing it should be used for, but most folks today
- use it for fun most of the time.
- * It has no conscience and no memory. Left to its own devices, it will
- just do the same damn dumb things it did before.
- * It provides a way to interact with other people. Some people take this
- interaction very seriously, others treat it as a lark. Sometimes it's
- hard to tell what kind of person you're dealing with until it's too
- late.
- * If you don't apply the appropriate protective measures, it can spread
- viruses.
- * It has no brain of its own. Instead, it uses yours. If you use it too
- much, you'll find it becomes more and more difficult to think
- coherently.
- * We attach an importance to it that is far greater than its actual size
- and influence warrant.
- * If you're not careful what you do with it, it can get you in big
- trouble.
- * It has its own agenda. Somehow, no matter how good your intentions, it
- will warp your behavior. Later you may ask yourself "why on earth did
- I do that?"
- * Some folks have it, some don't.
- Those who have it would be devastated if it were ever cut off. They
- think that those who don't have it are somehow inferior. They think it
- gives them power. They are wrong.
- Those who don't have it may agree that it's a nifty toy, but think it's
- not worth the fuss that those who do have it make about it. Still, many
- of those who don't have it would like to try it.
- * Once you've started playing with it, it's hard to stop. Some people
- would just play with it all day if they didn't have work to do.
- Thank you, please come again.
