      No, no, no, they were talking about Spy Wear, the new James Bond mens-fashon line. It's not that bad. Mostly different cuts of tuxedos and designer concealed-cary holsters though.

            Next thing they'll be asking you if it's bad when they surf porn at work.

            Like the Seinfeld George Costanza skit when he had sex with the cleaning lady at the office.

            Boss: It's come to my attention that you've been viewing porn on your computer.

            Employee: Was that wrong? Is that not supposed to happen? Is that where that spyware came from? I thought it just snuck up on the comuter, henc the name spyware.

              It isn't if you work for a web design firm who's got XXX sites as clients. Gotta see what the competition looks like after all.

                    Oh man, the self control I'd need to NOT laugh at that if I was a standing next to a co-worker who said that.

                      I spent a half hour explaining what spyware and adware are to a lady on the phone today. Some people should not own a computer.

                        Spyware's bad. So's adware, malware, badware, stinkyware, jerkware, and just-plain-no-goodware.

                        However, there is a new emergence of something called "underware". This is a totally new phenomenon that many dumb customers can't understand. What many don't know is that it's actually a good thing, but should probably be changed every day and cleaned regularly. If you don't all sorts of new viruses could develop.

                          I don't think I ever had to take that much time explaining what it was, but I did quickly learn that if someone doesn't know what it is, chances are they have it, and you're in for a long night if you're the one fixing their machine.

                          It's OK, while I never asked for anything in return, I always got something: Beer, food, even cash a few times, and one time, I even got some....




                          gratitude.

                          What did you think I was going to say?

                              You realize that getting that type of job will likely have you bored of looking at porn.

                              Take my job, for instance. Once upon a time, I played video games for fun...
