Jeeze, are _you_ behind the times!

I always have my debit card handy when I'm idling in the SUV out front of
someone's house who has a wireless access-point hooked up to their DSL. That
way, if I see something on the TV that I just _have_ to buy, I'm only a
pirated internet connection away from having something I don't need at all
delivered right to my door the very next day!

And all for low low prices.
