Do you have to be over 40 to 'understand' this...

[quimstrings]

or is it just a load of outdated, sexist guff?

this

a facebook 'friend' (who frankly should know better) has been 'sharing'.

Am I missing something? If not, please help me by suggesting an appropriate comment to stick on it.

I thought it was hilarious I've put it on my facebook page.

I get it, and I'm only (barely) 23. But I am very old at heart.

When I was little I wanted a typewriter more than anything. I thought they were super cool. Actually, I still do.

remove the blond aspect of it, and its quite funny.

Oooh, thanks for the compliments re. name.

I'll admit it, I was ready to be offended before I'd even watched it, as the person who posted it is someone I quite enjoy getting wound up by.

Have to say though - would have laughed my arse off had it been an untitled and without the naff description. That's what makes it offensive.

I remember the bell 'ting' but that wouldn't be done on the screen, would it!

(OK, the VT52 did have a little 'ding' when you got to column 80, in case someone is going to challenge me...)

As for not being old enough, PrettyCandles, I started working in IT in 1978 after spending time on a {non-IT} course for at least 2 years, so would hazard a guess that I'm a bit older than you think!

I loved it, and no, not sexist, unless you are too uptight for your own good. I'm 44 and I've been a SAHM for eighteen years, so I related fully!

LOL

I laughed... so did my DH, Mum and Dad

Both myself and 50+ mother found that hilarious!
