Go fly a kite.......
May. 19th, 2003 01:54 pm(Conversation between me and a co-worker as I'm leaving for a break with a mini-kite in hand
Them: "What's that?"
Me:"A kite. The wind is particularly good today"
Them: "What are you going to do with it?"
Me:"Thought I'd fly it"
Them: (Puzzled look) "Why?"
Me: (being silly) "Well, the wind sometimes effects our network connection to the university. So every so often I go fly a kite to see if the wind is bad enough to switch lines."
Them: (Lightbulb flickers behind eyes) "Oh! Okay, I understand."
(They walk off impressed by their understanding of arcane technical matters as I go off to fly my kite and wonder about the human race.)
