If in doubt
Get the latex out...

You've never seen me threatening the router when it craps out again.
Guitar Hero drumstick, kicking it in very pointy heels, inflatable mallet, crop... kicking it again... the neighbours probably think I'm a nutter when they look in!

As counterintuitive as this sounds
this might actually be a better way of repairing a router than just throwing vast blobs of latex at it.

And if your neighbours are nutters themselves, you've just made some new friends.

Yeah, I'm not sure drowning it in liquid latex is the way to go.
The landlord would kill me for the mess on the carpet for starters!

Everyone loves latex though!
I sense a new product line. Computer equipment for the fetish market. My idea! None of you go stealing it now!

Not computer equipment but user-interface design
for the scat-market - Apple's user-interface paradigm.

Most people, in fairness, only appreciate it because it stops them getting themselves or their partners pregnant.
It takes a certain calibre to see it having any other purpose!

Like preventing computer viruses?

Okay, that's three uses.
We're doing well!
