Women + Laptop + Coffee cup + Kids + Ball + Hairdryer = Bad situation =D

Hello,

I will share with you a funny little story which seems to happen more often to "girls/women":

Mother has laptop on table or so... with a cup of coffee next to it... kids/daughter are playing in the living room with a ball.

Ball hits the coffee cup, coffee spills over laptop... Mother is angry and tells daughter to dry the laptop with a hairdryer =D

Laptop gets fried and goes kaputt.

Seems more women have tried it...:

I would call this: "The hairdryer test" ;) :)

Bye, Skybuck =D

Substitute "Skybuck" for "girls/women" (or maybe not?). And substitute "Kool-Aid" for coffee and you got yourself a personal anecdote.

I was of the age to play with balls in the house back in a time before home computers. My mother told me that I was not allowed to throw or bounce balls in the house because they could end up breaking or spilling something. I got into some sort of trouble or another even for throwing a superball vertically to make it bounce back and forth between the floor and the ceiling.

And, my mother knew back then and knows now that a hair dryer does not remove anythying but water, and coffee had to be actually removed somehow. Along with water and water-containing liquids being a *bad thing* with most electrical devices not specifically boasting about being being made to have a specific degree of waterproofness (splashes and spills, rain/weather, submersible).

Do they even make those "Superballs" anymore? I wanted to get one for my Nephew, but could not find 'em in the stores.

I think the company was Whamo, or something like that. (?) A very hard little rubber ball that bounce like crazy, but could put a serious hurtin' on you if one hit you in the head.

I guess that's why they're not around anymore....???

Only a few years ago, I was able to get hundreds of them from a dollar store, as in at least a few packages having closer to 20 than to 10 of them, for $1 per package.

(No more than a year earlier or later, I purchased from the same dollar store in more than one occaision multiple laser pointers even with several pattern/design projection "heads" along with the initial set of battery cells along with each laser pointer for $1!)
