...lowbrow enough to chuckle at this headline? You might try reading "Harry Potter" and substituting "wang" for "wand." It's quite fun. |

Anything containing the word "Wang" is worth a chuckle. Trouble is, what proportion of the rest of the world would understand why? :D |

I had a chuckle as well and was about to email him to find out which male enhancement pills he was using :) |

Some many years ago, I worked for a company called Data Logic in Harrow, and we had a guy from IBM come over from the states. He couldn't initially understand why all the English thought his name was so funny. It didn't take Mr John Thomas long to find out why.... |

I'm young and innocent, and must not be corrupted by such things. |

Gender twisting and "pointed" humor are always funny. What makes it high- or low-brow is merely the vocabulary with which it is expressed. Hehehe, he said "expressed". heheh hehehe |

I guess I'm the only one who missed this double entendre, which is strange as my mind is ALWAYS in the gutter. Perhaps due to the fact I have a soft spot for Wang computers. My first programming class, basic, was on a remote Unix mainframe with dumb terminals. It went down for a 2 wk upgrade. We were left with half a dozen Apple IIs, which were an abomination and I've hated Apple ever since. Luckily, another class in the same bldg had a Wang mini-mainframe for it's secretarial classes and they let us use their terminals. Lovely. Also, isn't it Wang Labs that created the generic image viewer for M$ Windows? Regardless, I guess I missed the joke. Now, if they'd said something like Hung Lo...... |

@henke54: No worries, according to many of my son's adolescent "friends" most of the words in the English language seem to mean the same thing. ;) |
| tracyanne Aug 19, 2012 5:50 PM EDT |
No the truth is we Use a few words in the English language to mean many things |

"There are 400,000 words in the English language, and seven of them you can't say on television. They must be *really* bad words!" |
| BernardSwiss Aug 20, 2012 3:45 PM EDT |
Well I only know one of them: "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious" (Did I spell that correctly? My spellchecker doesn't admit to even knowing that one.) |
