    Will a peaty single malt gum up the works?

    The question is: Will the laptop appreciate the fine flavor of its fuel? I rather doubt it. Do what you like with your Scotch, but there's no way I'm putting any of my Cragganmore or Laphroaig into a fuel cell.

    One night a guy takes his girlfriend home.
    As they are about to kiss each other goodnight
    at the front door, the guy starts feeling a
    little horny.
    With an air of confidence, he leans with his
    hand against the wall and smiling, he says to her.
    "Honey, would you give me a blow job??"
    Horrified, she replies, "Are you mad? My
    parents will see us!"
    "Oh come on! Who's gonna see us at this hour?"
    "No, please. Can you imagine if we get
    caught?"
    "Oh come on! There's nobody around, they're
    all sleeping!"
    "No way. It's just too risky!"
    "Oh please, please, I love you so much?!"
    "No, no and no"
    "I love you too, but I just can't!"
    "Oh yes you can. Please?"
    "No, no. I just can't"
    "I'm begging you ..."
    Out of the blue, the light on the stairs goes
    on, and the girl's sister shows up in her pyjamas,
    hair dishevelled, and in a sleepy voice she says,
    "Dad says to go ahead and give him a blow job,
    or I can do it. Or if need be, Mum says she can
    come down herself and do it. But for f*cks sake,
    tell him to take his hand off the intercom."

    "Our first potential OEM (original equipment manufacturer) customers are already holding their first units in their hands," said Manfred Stefener, CEO of Smart Fuel Cell.

    That's sick. What's he talking about?
