Redneck Computers
On the highway the other day, I was passed by a truck whose back window displayed an advertisement for a company called Redneck Computers. I instantly imagined the following:
An obese, sweaty man with a mostache and a John Deere cap sitting between an oscillating fan and an abacus. The name Gus is
embroidered on his shirt. After furrowing his brow at the abacus
for a moment, he looks up and says, "Seven. That'll be five
bucks."
