@achewood There are only five Wodehouse books on my special Wodehouse shelf?! As Jeeves himself might ask, "Where in the fuck are the rest of them."

Especially if the mainframe's AI was voiced by Kelsey Grammer.

...was it?

No, but my dad did appear just as I pressed it and said "Just what do you think you're doing, Dave?"

I've never asked him if he was being clever or not.

Wait -- is your name Dave? 

Because, if not, I think that is extremely awesome.

My Dad took me into his office in Sydney once when I was about 9.  I drew pictures of dogs, then ran them off on the photocopier so I could have lots to color.  I drank about 12 cups of coffee (because you're supposed to drink coffee at the office).  Apparently my eyes were the size of saucers by the time we went home.

I used to go to the office with my dad a lot, not for any special reason, but because we were together and that's what he was doing.  I remember he worked as a salesman for a refractory company.  And they had a distribution warehouse where his office was.  I used to go out in the warehouse and climb up on the pallets of refractory and walk around the warehouse.  I was 5-6 years old walking around unsupervised in an industrial warehouse about 8-10 feet off the ground on unstable piles of bags or bricks.  There were probably forklifts wizzing around ala this.  In retrospect it was probably a very dangerous situation.  Ah well, nothing ever bad came of it.  Afterwards we would go enjoy a nice muffuletta together.

I hope I never have to refer to a scone in spoken conversation.

If it was refractory materials from back in the day there was probably a ton of asbestos around. 

I'm just sayin' is all...
