Big Oil and Bill Gates

[MyndFyre]

I was listening to talk radio today and the host, Barry Young, was talking about the oil companies and the hearing today about the windfall profits.

He said, "I don't hear anyone calling Microsoft into the Senate about this.  Microsof'ts Q3 profits were almost as much as Konoco-Phillips, and I don't hear anyone calling Bill Gates, saying 'Mr. Gates, all the computers in the world, with the exception of a few Apple holdouts and some geeks with pocket pencil protectors, they're all Windows, so we need to see why you're making so much profit.'"

LOL

[Sidoh]

Haha, that's pretty good.

I wonder why he called it a "pocket pencil protector", though.  The lead on a pencil doesn't seem very threatening.  :)

Pocket pen protectors are cool man!   8)

Haha, but it seems to me that there are more and more people using Apple and even Linux, that I know of.  Maybe it's just because I know more people now, though..

CMON!  It was FUNNY!

No, it seems more like a totally unjustified generalization...

Maybe because they're all nerds.

I thought it was pretty funny, hehe.

Someone buy me a pocket protector please.

Just beat up someone playing Yu-Gi-oH in the libary for it. That way you can spend your money on the new wow exp.  :P
