[Danny Chook Fan Club]

I tried a Generalisation once. The sound quality was abysmal. You're right, Generalisations are no good as stereotypes.

They make good toasters though.

All of Rohan's family are punces.

Wait no longer............. oh! by the way shinners, that's Bridgette with a D in there somewhere, can I suggest a Dictionary ??, 'joke joyce', can be spelt either way, although in a legal situation it may have to be politically correct, dunno.

toast·er Pronunciation Key (Toast"er)

1) A mechanical device used to toast bread, especially by exposure to electrically heated wire coils.

2) The archetypal really stupid application for an embedded microprocessor controller; often used in comments that imply that a scheme is inappropriate technology. "DWIM for an assembler? That'd be as silly as running Unix on your toaster!"

3) A very, very dumb computer. "You could run this program on any dumb toaster."

4) A peripheral device. "I bought my box without toasters, but since then I've added two boards and a second disk drive".
