“Everybody who has a dog calls him Rover or Boy. I call mine Sex. He’s a great pal, but he has caused me a great deal of embarrassment.
When I went to city Hall to renew his dog license, I told the clerk I would like a license for Sex. He said, “I’d like one, too!” Then I said, “But this is for a dog.” He said he didn’t care what she looked like. Then I said, “You don’t understand. I’ve had Sex since I was 9 years old.” He winked and said, “You must have been quite a kid.”
When I got married and went on my honeymoon, I took the dog with me. I told the motel clerk that I wanted a room for my wife and me and a special room for Sex. He said, “You don’t need a special room. As long as you pay your bill, we don’t care what you do.” I said, “Look, you don’t seem to understand. Sex keeps me awake at night.” The clerk said, “Funny — I have the same problem.”
One day, I entered Sex in a contest, but before the competition began, the dog ran away. Another contestant asked me why I was just standing there, looking disappointed. I told him I had planned to have Sex in the contest. He told me I should have sold my own tickets. “But you don’t understand,” I said, “I had hoped to have Sex on TV.” He said, “Now that cable is all over the place, it’s no big deal anymore.”
When my wife and I separated, we went to court to fight for custody of the dog. I said, “Your Honor, I had Sex before I was married.” The judge said, “This courtroom isn’t a confessional. Stick to the case, please.” Then I told him that after I was married, Sex left me. He said “That’s not unusual. It happens to a lot of people.”
Last night, Sex ran off again. I spent hours looking for him. A cop came over to me and asked, “What are you doing in this alley at 4 o’clock in the morning?” I told him that I was looking for Sex.
My case comes up Friday.
El contenido llamó tanto mi atención que me tomé la molestia de buscar un par de tijeras, recortar la página del periódico y guardar el articulo hasta olvidar donde lo almacené; hoy lo encontré por casualidad y quise compartirlo con Ustedes, pero antes de volverlo a tipear me pregunté ¿Será que está en algún Blog? Coloqué en BlogSearch de Google "A Dog Named Sex" y ¿Cuál fue el resultado? En 0,37 segundos tenía a mi alcance 200.877 Blogs con el contenido de A Dog Named Sex, de hecho había varias versiones con diferentes finales, seleccioné la que era igual a mi recorte la copié y la pegué en este Post sin tipear ni una sola letra.
Cuantos recortes almacenados, olvidados, esperando ser encontrados y ahora tan a la mano. ¿Podrá un nativo digital imaginarme buscando unas tijeras? ¿Sabrá lo que son tijeras? Claro que sabe como lucen porque es el icono utilizado para “Cut” pero no se si ha tenido alguna vez una en sus manos y no solo en el cursor de su Mouse. ¿Podrá un nativo digital imaginarme guardando ese pedazo de papel por una docena de años? No lo creo porque él lo busca en la Web y lo almacena en Delicious o como un Bookmark en su computador. La verdad me sentí como un Inmigrante Digital con sus recuerdos almacenados en recortes de papel. Vamos a dejar las tijeras en el pasado y a seguir surfeando esta ola de tecnología nativos e inmigrantes digitales juntos.
