[Shotimes] RE: OT - New car/New computer - FUNNY

[James F. Ryan III]

Well, stupid, at least "Power" implies "Power on" and "Power off".  Just
like "ignition" switch implies "ignition on" and "ignition off".  But
"Start" only implies one thing.

If this is a "stupid" argument, then why did you get involved....you must be
stupid.
