The Farting Notebooks

Recently, I went to the library with three other course mates, SY, Wendy and Miss Hippopotamus (I'll tell you why I gave her this nick name the next time ok). We brought along our notebooks to register online subjects for the next semester. SY and Miss Hippo were ex-schoolmates and have always hated each other, but they continued to pretend and hide the hatred. Both come from families of different status, one from a wealthy class and the other from the not-so-rich class. So, Miss Hippo who have always despised people tried to 'attack' SY again the other day.

While in the library,...


Miss Hippo: SY, I really can't help it and must ask you this. Why is it that your Acer is so noisy?? My Dell is not noisy also.
SY: Different brand and model la.
Miss Hippo: I mean how come yours is so noisy?? Your laptop has problems is it?? Tiramisu's and Wendy's not that noisy also. I think the fan (inside notebook) is spoilt.
Me: It's just the release of heat from our notebooks.
Wendy: Ya lar. What's the problem about that noise??
Miss Hippo: I know that annoying noise comes from the fan but don't you all realize it?? Hers is like super noisy!
SY: Everybody's laptop is different ok! Don't need to compare...
Miss Hippo: I'm not comparing but...
Me: Ahh, just cut the crap ok! We (Wendy, SY and I) are using Acer, but you are using Dell. For Acer notebooks, the heat or 'hot air' is released from the side. As for yours, it's from the bottom part, or under the keyboard.
Miss Hippo: ...But, but why is it that hers is so noisy?? Really beh tahan la...

SY looked very pissed off with Miss Hippo and ignored her.

Me: Oh well, you just need to understand something. The heat or 'hot air' released from our notebooks is just a simple concept of air-releasing, the same as in farting.
Wendy: What has farting got to do with laptops???
Me: Do you know the difference between a quiet fart and the type of fart with sound or noise?? Our (Wendy, SY and me) notebooks are the type to 'fart' with sound or noise. Miss Hippo's notebook is the type to fart quietly. So, which is more dangerous???
Wendy: Miss Hippo's notebook??
Me: Yes.
Miss Hippo: Why is mine dangerous??
Me: Cuz when someone farts, which type gives you an unforgettable stench??
Miss Hippo: Erm....the one without any sound or noise???

And everyone started to laugh at Miss Hippo...
