You Might be a Nerd If

... choosing to buy flowers for your girlfriend or
upgrading your RAM is a moral dilemma.

... you take a cruise so you can go on a personal
tour of the engine room.

... in college you thought Spring Break was metal
fatigue failure.

... the sales people at the local computer store
can't answer any of your questions

... at an air show you know how fast the skydivers
are falling.

... you bought your wife a new CD-ROM drive for her
birthday.

... you can quote scenes from any Monty Python movie.

... you can type 70 words per minute but can't read
your own handwriting.

... you comment to your wife that her straight hair
is nice and parallel.

... you sit backwards on the Disneyland rides to see
how they do the special effects.

broken appliances.

life.

... you know what http:// stands for.

... you look forward to Christmas so you can put the
kids' toys together.

... you see a good design and still have to change it.

... you spent more on your calculator than you did on
your wedding ring.

... you still own a slide rule and know how to use it.

... you think that people yawning around you are sleep
deprived.

... you window shop at Radio Shack

... your laptop computer costs more than your car.

... your wife hasn't the foggiest idea of what you do at
work.
