A rose by any other name ...
I am known amongst my friends as being totally childish - people who meet me at first think I am in my early twenties because I am such a kid (37 next month).

Lately my compooter has gotten a new OS - Snow Leopard. Part of it is a new feature in the built in screen reader (for such blind buggers as myself) which enables one to label items with custom names which will then be spoken by the screen reader when you navigate to them - for example the accessibility tabs are now labeled things like "Blind fuckers", "Deaf aids", "Clumsy cunts", itunes is called ichoons, and other such mildly amusing (to me) ditties. I snorted with glee like a total child when I labeled them up, sad that I am.

It came back to bite me however when my solicitor, who is dealing with my rather messy and acrimonious divorce, phoned me up and wanted to query an item on my bank statement. She's used to hearing the pooter speak when I'm on the phone to her but this was our first conversation after the new OS install.
I navigated to the dock, right arrowed along to the Safari web browser (to check my online banking) and was invited by the screen reader in a proud and happy voice to "Open the portal to porn"...

I'm sure I heard her suppress a giggle.
