I avoided the internet for a long time. I always thought that it was a medium that the corporate world needed, and they wanted to suck us (the little guys) into bearing the maintenence costs. I had my computer, but had no interest in "getting online".
Then, one day, I heard an advertisement on the radio by one of the ISPs. "Are you online yet?" It asked. "Everyone else is! Your co-workers, all of your friends, even your ex-wife is online !" That was all I had to hear. I couldn't let her get one up on me, right? So I went online....
Its been interesting. And a bit perplexing. I can't, for the life of me, figure out who told all of those companies about the size of my penis. Ive asked everyone and no one will admit to it. Or, why those other people think I would be more confident if I used their breast enhancement cream. So far, it hasn't helped abit.
I must admit, it amazed me when I first began exploring the web. Every page offering links to many more. Taking you down sidestreets and dumping you onto thruways...It would just go on forever. Then I saw that little box at the side of the page. She was staring at me with those inviting eyes..."Want to chat with me live?" It asked. "Click here now!" So I did.
Suddenly, windows started popping open all over the screen! Each one displaying the crudest, most disgusting (yet, strangely interesting) content! I felt a warm flush come over my face and I remember thinking " what if someone sees this!". Frantically, I grabbed the mouse and began closing the windows as fast as I could. But every time I closed a window, five more would open! I was losing ground, fast.
Then, suddenly, one of the windows caught my eye. They were right!! Right there, on the internet, were all of my friends....with my ex-wife!!! I never realized she was so nimble. Go figure...
