[NBLUG/talk] User Fun - No Names

[Jordan Erickson]

=p  Speaking of touching peckers...this reminds me of something I
actually jotted down in my Palm Pilot (yes, my Palm Pilot..still use
it.. http://www.logicalnetworking.net/?p=1102 ) in 2001 while working
tech support for a bank holding company:
---
(From one of my users on the status of a PCMCIA NIC's ethernet port
dongle, 9/19/2001)
"I played with my pigtail last night...I jiggled the part that was bent
and it seemed to work ok. When it does come (the replacement dongle)
I'll let you know."

The reason: due to translation problems, the ads featured the slogan "Touch Woody - The Internet Pecker." An American at the internal product launch explained to the stunned and embarrassed Japanese what "touch woody" and "pecker" meant in American slang.
