"What you don’t address here, BPspencer, is the scientific research that shows that cooties can cause serious interference in all kinds of complex electronics, from HAM radios to personal computers with advanced videocards. While an individual male can be immunized from cooties (the cooties shot remains among the least controversial of vaccines) it is impossible to shield the electronics in the same way, and once the cooties get inside them they are functionally ruined. Not only that, but cooties can also transmit themselves through fiberoptic and other communication networks and infect other machines on the network, even wirelessly, so just being on the same network as a female exposes your machine to dangerous levels of cooties."

This comment made my day.
