I Resemble That Remark! [The Adventures of Handyman]
The other day The Hub, who at this point has almost more work than he can handle, was sitting at the lap top trying to answer some e-mails while eating his breakfast.
He's a little more of a morning person than I am. Not much, but a little. I staggered out looking for some cereal. ( "Do you ever wander out here in the morning and pour this into a bowl by accident?" Rob asked the other day, holding up one of many bags of bird seed on my counter top. The truth is that the only reason why not is because cereal comes in square boxes and bird seed is in bags)....
Anyway.
The Hub took a sip of coffee and looked back at the computer. "Look at me! I feel like some hot shot executive, sitting here drinking my coffee, answering e-mails, typing away...."
"With both fingers." I put in.
"Hey! I'm offended." The Hub said.
"You are?"
"Absolutely. I'm up to THREE fingers these days" he said. And he demonstrated.
Sigh.
Hee-hee! You had better not buy the cereal that comes in the bags.

Email and coffee is old and busted and no longer merely the purview of the jet-setting executive, I'm afraid. The new hawtness is typing away on your Mac Powerbook in a WiFi-connected coffee shop while glaring at the screen through your thick-framed emo glasses. Hair dyed jet black or shaved completely is de rigueur.
He needs a box of Just for Men (or a razor), some new frames, and to answer his mail from the Pour House. Alternately, he needs a Blackberry or a Treo smartphone. Nothing says Pro-fessional like tippy-typing away on a tiny little keyboard in a public place. ;-)
