Q: I am a member of a Macintosh User Group and I’d like to let people know about a meeting we’re having on September 22nd.
A: Oh, sure. MUGs are a great place for Mac users of all kinds to congregate.
Q: Um, yes. Well, we’re looking for a certain kind of Mac user.
A: Oh. Well… what kind?
Q: See, we’re the Stonehenge Macintosh Users Group and we need… well… we’re looking for…
A: Looking for…?
Q: Yes. Well. See, September 22nd is the autumnal equinox and we’re a little short on…
A: What?!
Q: Virgins. OK? It’s… we could use some virgins.
A: Virgins.
Q: Female… eighteen or nineteen… It’s not for sacrifice! We don’t do that. It’s just a purity thing. Carry the Orb of Thesulah into the ring and…
A: You know, we’re not a virgin head-hunting organization.
Q: Ahhh… I see. You don’t know any virgins.
A: Actually, no. No, I don’t. But you don’t either.
Q: Hmph.


Q: I AM A DEMI-GOD AND RECENT SWITCHER. I SWITCHED TO THE MAC BECAUSE I BELIEVED IT WOULD GIVE ME VAST POWERS ALLOWING ME TO VAULT FROM DEMI-GOD STATUS TO THAT OF A FULL GOD. HOWEVER, WHILE I DO ENJOY THE USER INTERFACE MORE THAN THAT OF WINDOWS, I FIND THAT MY POWERS ARE UNALTERED. I CAN STILL WRESTLE A BULL, SWIM GREAT OCEANS AND SATISFY MANY WOMEN AT THE SAME TIME, BUT THE POWERS OF LIGHTNING, WIND, AIR… THEY ARE BEYOND ME. DO I NEED A SYSTEM UPDATE?
A: No. I’m afraid someone has simply oversold the capabilities of the Mac to you. It does provide a more enjoyable user experience, it generally crashes less, and is easier to support. But it won’t give you power over the elements or anything.
Q: THAT… THAT’S RATHER DISAPPOINTING. I SPENT A LOT OF MONEY ON NEW VERSION OF MY APPLICATIONS.
A: Well… hey, you’re a demi-god looking to become a god. You can write it off as a business expense.
Q: HMM. HMMMMM. HA-HA! INDEED I CAN! YOU HAVE ASSISTED ME GREATLY! IS THERE SOMETHING I CAN WRESTLE FOR YOU?
A: Uh, n-no. No. Not that I can think of right now.
Q: I SEE. WELL, LET ME KNOW IF YOU CHANGE YOUR MIND!
A: You’ll be the first to know.


Q: Wait, was that Gorthar the Mighty?
A: Uh… yeah. Yeah, I think it was. Gorthar, son of Vulcan and Aphrodite.
Q: Oh, sheesh. He is just so full of it, you know? Typical male demi-god.
A: Oh, I don’t know. He seemed like a nice enough guy. What do you have against Gorthar?
Q: Well, let’s just say not all of the women were satisfied, OK?
A: Ooookay. I guess you’re not eligible for a membership in SMUG then.
Q: Nnnno.
