Holes

Man : Joe, You've seen an Ice cube with a hole in it?

Joe : Married to one for 5 years come next April...

Man : (Chuckles) Like that kah? Sorry dude...

Joe : It's oklah, Man. Hey, speaking of holes, that reminds me that my laptop's giving me problems. You know when you plug your stereo jack into that headphones out hole thingy and you have to tweak it a bit then only the sound will come out?

Man : Mmm-hmmm.. Yup. It's the hole problem. It's loosen up.

Joe : Exactly. When I tried to plug the jack to the next hole, you know, the mic input and tried to tweak it, that hole is intact.

Man : I hear you Joe. Same thing happened to the lappy I bought 4 years back. Brought it to some shop and they said "Boss.. This one built-in item la so if you want to repair you have to leave your laptop here for 2 weeks..." I had to stop him there. 2 weeks? I know if I ask him why 2 weeks he would get all techy on me and bro, I won't leave it to any shop for that long, ok? I got my work in there, my entertainment, my family pics, all kinds of stuffs. So I said thanks and cabut la.

Joe : 4 years huh? That's quite a long time. Maybe that's why la. Mine's only 3 years plus and I'm already having this problem. What do you do then? Eh, by the way, you're telling me the built in speakers also koyak?

Man : Well, the speakers koyak first la, that's why I had to get plugged every damn time, well, except when I'm at the mamak wi-fi la kan? Until the hole gets all bigger and you can't use what... Kacip Fatimah? to shrink it a bit la (Chuckles)

Joe : Wow.. you really gasak that hole ek? (Chuckles). Imagine if you know....

Man : I know bro.. But in your case you won't last..

Joe : What do you mean by that?

Man : Well, you said it youself. It's ice, right?

Joe : (Laughs)

Man : See? (Chuckles). I know what you mean ok? No disrespect.

Joe : Hey, no problemo dude.

Man : Ok. Jokes aside. The old lady, I mean my lappy was having quite a number of other problems also. The battery was hopeless, the Ethernet module got struck by surge, and I'm already at that time thinking of getting a new one.

Joe : I assume you got a new one already.

Man : Yeah. Last week.

Joe : Same brand?

Man : Nope. Last one was a Dell. I got a HP this time.

Joe : HDMI out?

Man : Sure thing, bro.

Joe : I envy you, dude.

Man : Not yet, bro. Keep on tweakin' until you can't tweak no more, then only envy me and get an Envy (Chuckles)

Joe : Oh yeah.. that's HP's model, right?

Man : Exactly.

Joe : So wanna join me filling holes next weekend?

Man : Lemme check. (Checks scheduler on handphone). Sure.

Joe : By the way, what's your handicap?
