Explaining how babies are made is sometimes hard for the parents. Especially if the parents are computer specialists. This reminds me of an old story about this young kid at school. He said to the teacher, his father was a guitarist in a striptease pub. When the teacher asked the father - why he didn’t lie about his job, he said that he actually lied and the truth was that he was an ex Unix system administrator and now he worked as a network engineer and developing the ipv6 TCP/IP code.

THE FIVE SECRETS OF A PERFECT RELATIONSHIP

1. It is important to find a woman who cooks, cleans up and has a job.
2. It is important to find a woman who can make you laugh.
3. It is important to find a woman who you can trust and who doesn’t lie to you.
4. It is important to find a woman who is good in bed and who likes to be with you.
5. It is very important that these four women don’t know each other.
