Well Thumbed

When $boyfriend walked in last night wearing a t-shirt proclaiming “You had me at ehlo”, 2 of my friends looked slightly confused and enquired as to its meaning.

After much conversation and many explanations, the following conversation ensued:

$guest1: You see, when mail servers talk to each other, they use “ehlo” as a greeting

$guest2: Oh, ok.

$guest3: That’s silly, why don’t they just say hi?

…

I got wine up my nose and the 2 geeks collapsed into helpless fits of laughter. My friends are awesome!
