-MODERN VERSION OF BIRTH
A little boy goes to his father and asks 'Daddy, how was I born?'
The father answers, "Well son, I guess one day you will need to find out anyway!
Your Mom and I first got together in a chat room on Yahoo. Then I set up a date via email with your Mom and we met at a Cyber cafe.
We sneaked into a secluded room where your mother agreed to a download from my hard drive.
As soon as I was ready to upload from my hard drive, we discovered that neither one of us had used a firewall! And since it was too late to hit the delete button, nine months later a littel Pop-Up appeared that said:
'YOU GOT MALE!'
This doesn't apply to us.............!!!!
