Morning y’all
A big shout out to Aks for today’s pungent DJK
. . . . . Didja Know?
Hundreds of Dell users around the world are begging their cat’s forgiveness for
having the audacity to blame them for the foul cat-urine stench that wafted from
Dell’s new Latitude laptop.

"I have been blaming a new kitten who I swore was creeping into my closed back
pack at night and magically only hitting the PC with a concentrated urine stream
which then magically evaporated," one user said. "Glad to hear I am not alone
(people see me smelling my PC and think I am insane!) and my apologies to the cat."

It seems the pungent odor is the result of a manufacturing process related to the computer’s
palm rest and ‘not related to biological contamination . . .’

I did hear about this Joy.

Poppy was in the doghouse.

Hang on- something's wrong there.

Dell understood what their customers meant when they said "This notebook Stinks!"..

If you have one of those laptops, you need to pack it in a box with kitty litter and return it to Dell’s repair shop for warranty work.

That's hilarious, Aks and Joy! I didn't know it. I'm sure I would have been quick to blame one of my cats if I detected such an odor.

Looks like Dell had some disgruntled workers on the assembly line, ick.

Since Dell is a Texas company I have to stand up for it by saying:

"At least the laptop was not stuffed with murderous Wandering Brazilian Spiders."
