Hey! INFO. TECH (IT) people if you didn't like wearing ties to work....
Is this what they mean when they say,"Get one of those CLOWNS from IT to come down here and fix this damned laptop".



Julie Ask, a senior analyst for Jupiter Research of San Francisco, connects her laptop to a wireless internet connection while being supervised by Ronald McDonald Tuesday, July 8, 2003, at a McDonald's restaurant in the financial district of San Francisco. Selected McDonalds' restaurants in the San Francisco Bay Area will offer high speed wireless internet connectivity for $4.95 per 2 hour usage. (Photo/Ben Margot)

Welcome to Dick Cheney's America.

2. So, they charge you $4.95 for two hours usage
And then, as soon as you're done eating and hit the standard McDonald's twenty-minute limit for table usage, they boot ya out. (at least, in NYC, many of them have 20 minute limits on table usage).

What idiot is gonna wanna open their laptop in an area that is well-known for having people who talk with their mouths open, spray food, exhibit boorish behavior, have uncontrollable children explosively stomping on ketchup packets and where some SuperSized SuperAmericanPatriot(tm) is likely drop his 600 ounce super-size coke on your computer when they bump the chair because there's 11.2" of clearance between tables and his Corporate Branded Logo baseball cap, which he's wearing inside I'd like to mention, obscured his vision as he was attempting to navigate the floor while holding a tray with 4 big macs, 4 supersize fries, 8 cherry pies, 3 McNuggets, 2 happy meals, ZERO napkins, and 87 ketchup and mustard packets, while carrying his backpack, a diaper bag, a stroller, a toddler, and a five year old with a dirty face and hands all greasy from already eating some fries and who then insists on touching everything and everyone he walks by.

I sure wouldn't.

3. Yeah plus what about the porn?
Are they going to let you look at porn with all those kids around?

BTW who goes to a public place to view porn anyway ? I was just kidding above.

4. Wow, hadn't even thought of that possibility!
"Hey, lady, I paid my $4.95, I'll look at whatever I want on this screen!"

"What do you mean, turn down the volume? You lose half the effect of the porn!"

"Hey - lady - I bet you look like this under your shirt. What do you think?!"

"Yo, mister, your kid's blocking my view of the screen. Tell him to get his paws off the mouse!"
