A little boy goes to his father and asks "Daddy, how was I born?"

The father answers: "Well son, I guess one day you will need to find out anyway! Your Mom and I first got together in a chat room on Yahoo. Then I set up a date via e-mail with your Mom and we met at a cyber-cafe. We sneaked into a secluded room, where your mother agreed to a download from my hard drive. As soon as I was ready to upload, we discovered that neither one of us had used a firewall, and since it was too late to hit the delete button, nine months later a little Pop-Up appeared that said:
You got Male.

There are so many wonderful double-entendres in computer-speak!

My personal favourite is "packet sniffing", a common practice among network administrators (and crackers) to see what other people are doing on a computer network. When a computer starts packet sniffing, its interface goes into "promiscuous mode". I remember once reading a technical article, written in entirely good faith, on packet sniffing in Chapel at school (don't ask) and the entire congregation (admittedly almost all schoolboys) was in paroxysms of mirth.

:-[ I confess I did sneak into the house boxroom (locker room) and appropriate a jockstrap once. I think that was sniffing an empty packet. :-[

I'm glad to find that I (and my fictional and not so fictional characters) are not the only ones into jock-sniffing in our younger days. These days chance would be a fine thing.

I dream of boys with big bulges in their trousers,
Never of girls with big bulges in their blouses.

…and look forward to meeting you in Cóito.
