A blonde woman walks into a store that sells curtains and approaches the salesman with confidence. She explains that she would like to buy a pink curtain sized exactly to fit her computer screen. The salesman looks at her in confusion and replies politely, “Madam, computers don’t use curtains.”
The blonde pauses, gives him a surprised look, and answers slowly, “Helloooo… I have Windows!” The salesman stands there speechless as the misunderstanding becomes clear.
What she thought was a perfectly reasonable request turns out to be a classic case of mixing up computer terminology with household items — proving once again that a single word can mean very different things, depending on how you look at it.
