Only in America

Post by Dave Connelly » 28 Aug 2006, 10:12

One of my friends just ordered a new Dell PC via the internet.

As it is an American company there are a series of security questions they now ask you. Question 4 was as follows:
Q4. Will the product(s) be used in connection with weapons of mass
destruction, i.e. nuclear applications, missile technology, or chemical
or biological weapons purposes?
What do you think the terrorists answer would be :?: 8)

"At this stage, we had managed to find that unique gem, a keyboard player. (We had another one, a lovely hippy guy who could dance too but he retired) David Connelly was, by his own admission not a great keyboard player, but he was tall, good looking and had a keyboard. It was starting to sound and look like science fiction on stage."

We went for it with a vengeance. Blue hair, leather suits, silver suits, suits of any colour as long as they looked glamorous or nasty.
Any photos? :D

I'm afraid unless you give me a heads up (ok) that you aren't going to yell at me. I can't help it if you're a hippy and I'm a little flower child. Tell me, is it a surprise that I will love? Can you give me a tiny idea what is behind the pm secret door(s)? Did you mail me two surprises? The last is better than the first? I like gifts that make me smile or laugh. Is it a present I'm going to realllllllllllllly like? I have to know, Dave!!!! Are you having second thoughts about pming me? Fess up. Don't be afraid or shy. U don't have to hide. I don't want to have a nightmare over it. :violent3: :shock:

you've lost me completely there MTP, I cant yell at you, I dont know who you are. I do know several hippies though and one or two punks, (albeit punk isn't quite back in fashion yet), dont think you will be getting any surprises, i just asked who you were
