How to Make Geeks Laugh
Today is "Frys"day. We have a Fry's electronic right across the street here at work. A very dangerous place for a geek. My Beautiful Wife has even commented that if there was a Michael's that close she would be tempted to spend a lot of money. However the group I work with do attempt to be financially responsible and so we check out the Fry's ads that are in the newspaper Monday, Wednesday and Frydays. As with all newspaper ads there are times when there was a misprint, or someone created the ad that doesn't know what a product is. This is a great example of that. If you know what a Capacitor is, you know how funny this is. If you don't, ask your local geek, he/she will explain how funny this really is.
P.S. Thanks to Ed and Eggman getting a scan of this.
