Girl Friends

Today Phone Rang in the morning at 7.30. I picked up the phone. The voice said (translated to English)

"Dear BSNL customer, Your bill amount for the month of June is Rs.957/- Please pay the bill to avoid disconnection. If you have already paid the bill ignore this message."

Dad: Who was on the phone?
Me: Automated call from BSNL about the bill.
Dad: How do you say its automated da?
Me: Well, it was a computerized girl's voice pa..
Dad: How come they don't use computerized man's voice?

I started thinking. Why do men use female personalities for computers and their possessions?

• Quadraplex T-3000 computer has a female personality. For those of you wondering what is this, its the Computer that runs Dexter's laboratory. Even Dexter who thinks girls are slimy (maybe a Generalization, but Dee Dee is slimy!) gives his computer a female personality and calls it (her) "my love".

• This is what Gunnery Sergeant Hartman instructs his recruits in the film Full Metal Jacket:

"Tonight... you pukes will sleep with your rifles! You will give your rifle a girl's name! Because this is the only pussy you people are going to get! Your days of finger-banging old Mary Jane Rottencrotch through her pretty pink panties are over! You're married to this piece, this weapon of iron and wood! And you will be faithful!"

• There is a website called Ananova.com that originally featured a computer-simulated animation of a woman newscaster, named "Ananova," who had been programmed to "read" newscasts to Web users.

The list goes on. So What am i coming to say?

Heard this one from Manju: Everybody likes a woman's company; even women..

So here it is. Now you know why the blog title is "Zen dude and his Girlfriends" and Not "Zen Dude" alone.

So in the forthcoming posts, the Girlfriends of the Zen Dude will be making their appearances.. Watch out!

Dewa mata!
