So Punny It Hertz, 2.0

(My girlfriend and I are both geeks. We had “geek sex” — Bluetooth pairing our phones — long before we were officially dating. We are texting.)

Girlfriend: “I will try to remember that, but remembering things around you is difficult because I look at you and my mind clears of random information. You are the magnet to my hard drive.”

Me: “I’m usually the one with a hard drive when you are around.”

Girlfriend: “Maybe you need to reinsert into my port.”

Me: “Hopefully my peripheral is compatible. Is your port backwards compatible?”

Girlfriend: “I thought you weren’t interested in a backwards port.”

Me: “I’m not, but I needed to continue the computer references.”
