~ 'VIRUS' ~

no, there's no one sick here & my computer's working fine, but i just found out about 'virus' tonight ~ i was talking to dad & mom this evening & was talking about every subject known to man ~ computers came up & my dad was talking about anytime he touches a computer it messes up ~ he said that when he worked at ford motor company on the line, he'd have to do some things on the computer every day & every single time he'd go into his cubicle to start, it'd mess up on him ~ well, being the patient man that i know him to be (sorry god, i just lied), he'd get soooooooooo upset as this was happening all the time ~ he's not computer savvy at all (he doesn't even know how to turn their computer on at their house) & after this happened time & time again, he was so frustrated that he started just unplugging it when it'd mess up ~ everytime he'd do this, it'd shut down part of the plant (yea, bet your co-workers LOVED you!) ~ they'd have to send maintenance out to fix it & then they'd be off & running again ~ now, instead of asking for help/directions (oh wait, he's a guy... what WAS i thinking?!?!) ~ this went on & on for quite awhile until one day he did it & EVERYTHING in the plant went off ~ nothing was running at all ~ they then found out that whatever my father did (to this day, we don't know what it was), it didn't just shut everything off at ford motor company in indianapolis, indiana, but it shut everything off in detroit, michigain too & for the rest of the day, everything they did in the form of paperwork, had to be done by hand... the long way!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ~ from that day on, he was known around the plant as 'virus' ~ he started having people that he worked with him with names like: brownie, spud, big bertha, doc, buddy, ole' willy & fuzzy pants (don't even want to know how they got that name!), offer to log things into the computer for him so as to not have to do everything by hand anymore! ~ so to virus i plead with you, pleeease do not EVER touch my computer :)
