you know how they can be   (quote)

"In some stores, selling you a product seems to be merely an excuse to sell you the service agreement. Several months ago, my wife and I were shopping for a computer, and a salesperson attached himself to us, lampreylike. His sole professional contribution was to inform us, no matter which computer we looked at, that we would definitely want the service agreement. At one point he took me aside and told me, man to man, that we especially needed the service agreement, because —this is a direct quote —"You know how women can be with computers." He did not elaborate, but the implication was that, as soon as a woman is alone with a computer, she has some kind of massive hormonal surge that causes her to, I don't know, lactate on the keyboard."
 -Dave Barry, 2003 Desk Calendar
