He was one of those "Aks a question / Talk over the answer" folks, too.

HIM: What's an EEE-ther net, anyway?

ME: Oh, that's a-

HIM: Don't see why I should need one anywho, since I've got an INNER-net, not an EEETHER-net!

Wow. Did this person say that straight? Like they didn't know? Or was there some sarcasm going on? Or strange occultic context involving werewolves and Cornish pixies? That just seems so strange for someone who doesn't live in a cave and has access to both a computer and a telephone, but of which are filled to the brim with mumbo-jumbo. Don't trip! You'll spill it!

Oh, he was completely serious. He was an older fellow... old enough to use phrases such as "Mumbo-Jumbo"...

I've been a computer programmer/systems analyst for 20 years and electricity is just Mumbo Jumbo to me too. Ha-ha! I've actually TRIED to understand it, but the descriptions go in circles. Watts leads to amps leads to volts leads to ohms leads back to watts again without anyone ever actually saying what electricity IS. It's magic.

Very funny stories. Keep us posted.
