I am not technologically savvy, people. (I say things like, ‘the twitter,’ instead of just, ‘twitter.’)
Hubby was trying to show me how a smart phone works. He pressed a button, and this lady’s voice said, ‘what would you like to do?’ Hubby said I could ask any question.
What I really wanted to ask was, ’what does it mean if my poop is green?’ (It was probably just that I ate too many bowls of Crunch Berries cereal). The lady in the phone was probably expecting a question like, ‘where is the nearest Target?’
Hubby asked the first question. He is a nerd. If you are a nerd, too, then you know what the whole ’42′ thing is about.
I am not as elegant as my husband. I asked the second question. ‘What are you wearing’ just seems like the natural thing to say when you are on the phone with someone you are not related to. What does it mean if her answer turned me on a little? The lady in the phone is like a sexy nerd, my kryptonite! Oh my gosh. I think I may now understand how people get robot sex fetishes.
P.S. I had to ask:
Okay, this answer was pretty boring. Robot crush over. The magic is gone. But at least she is still trying. Maybe I should work on this relationship.

Thanks for the warning! (‘Eye bleach’ totally had me doing the lol thing!)

Yay! And thank you.
“the twitter” – Love it.
I also say, ‘the netflix,’ and ‘the facebook.’
LOL
I recently learned that I am a sapiophile, although now the Internets are telling me the term is sapiosexual. Either way, intelligence and nerdiness are super hot. I’m also a sucker for artists.
We’re friends now, I’ve decided. And it works because I have a totally cool husband, too, so surely they’ll get along while we discuss all the tree vaginas. Just figured I’d let you know.
Haha, yes! I love that there is a word for it, sapiosexual. I will try to use it in a sentence today!
I don’t have Siri, but when I ‘played’ with her in the Apple store, I asked her similar questions. Glad to know I’m not the only one…
Thanks for stopping by my site. I appreciate it!
Awesome!
How much do I love that it gave “42″ as the answer for Life, the Universe, and Everything?
I know. Isn’t that hilarious?
