Top Ten Signs You Are an Internet Geek

10. When filling out your driver's license application you write your IP
address instead of your SSN.

line is, "Hi, what's your URL?"

8. Instead of calling you to dinner, your spouse sends you E-mail.

7. You're amazed to find out that "spam" is a food.

6. You "ping" people to see if they're awake, "finger" them to find out how
they are, and "AYT" them to make sure they're listening to you.

5. Your computer at home acts as a Web server.

4. You introduce your wife as "wife@my_home.org" and refer to your children
as "client applications."

3. At social functions you introduce your husband as "my domain server."

2. After winning the office SuperBowl pool you blurt out, "I feel so colon
dash right parenthesis!"
