Why The Internet Is Like A Penis

It can be up or down. It's more fun when it's up, but that makes

it difficult to get any real work done.

In the long-distant past, its only purpose was to transmit information

considered vital to the survival of the species. Some people still

think that's the only thing it should be used for, but most folks

today use it for fun most of the time.

It has no conscience and no memory. Left to its own devices, it will

just do the same damn dumb things it did before.

It provides a way to interact with other people. Some people take

this interaction very seriously, other treat is as a lark. Sometimes

it's hard to tell what kind of person you're dealing with until it's

too late.

If you don't apply the appropriate protective measures, it can spread

viruses.

It has no brain of its own. Instead, it uses yours. If you use it

too much , you'll find it becomes more and more difficult to think

coherently.

We attach an importance to it that is far greater than its actual size

and influence warrant.

If you're not careful what you do with it, it can get you in big trouble.

It has its own agenda. Somehow, no matter how good your intentions,

it will warp your behavior. Later you may ask yourself "Why on earth

did I do that?"

*Some folks have it, some don't.*

Those who have it would be devastated if it were ever cut off. They

think that those who don't have it are somehow inferior. They think

it gives them power. They are wrong.

Those who don't have it may agree that it's a nifty toy, but think

it's not worth the fuss that those who do have it make about it.

Still, many of those who don't have it would like to try it.

Once you've started playing with it, it's hard to stop. Some people

would just play with it all day if they didn't have work to do.

If the word 'penis' is deemed offensive perhaps you should chop all of

ours off.
