When Google Becomes Goodie and Router Becomes Rooster

Sometimes I really don't know to laugh or to cry. My dad asked me where to download Goodie and I was like ??? I thought it was some obscure program that me/ my bro downloaded in the ancient past. Anyway, to help jog my memory I asked him what the program was for. He then told me it was a search engine and I was like "Oh... Google lah." Had to start explaining to him that he does not need to download a search engine. Just need to open the URL in the browser...

This reminds me of the time when my brother wanted to change his dial-up to broadband and my dad was thinking of how all 3 different computers can share the broadband. Did some reading up and he proudly told us we need to get a rooster. Again it was ??? Tried telling him it was a router not a rooster, but apparently the info only lasted for 1 day. I seriously have no idea how he managed to buy the router from Sim Lim; maybe all the uncles there speak the same lingo as my dad.

Ah.. that's very interesting. My dad will only say.. there's virus in the comp!! my mails disappeared.. 'he clicked on the mails and did a mass del' before that happened.
