My computer screen background story

I mentioned a story about computer screen backgrounds when I did the "what's your computer background?" meme, and here it is:

My then-girlfriend Alicia was and is much better with computers than me. It was summer break from college, and she and I were visiting our mutual friends Andy and Anders, who were sharing an apartment in a complex they were supervising for the break. They told Alicia they'd done something wrong on their computer, and had saved a porn image on it. A really big, explicit porn image. So hey, maybe she could help them get that image off the computer!

Now Alicia, while sexy herself and liking sex-related stuff, doesn't Do Porn. She doesn't look at it and has no interest in it. So she scoffed. "No, I'm not going to look at that!" So Andy grinned a shit-eating grin and said, "So, Chris, you want to look at it?"

I'm proud that the next thing I said was "I had better not want to look at that."

Alicia cracked up. (Great, big laugh, she has.)

That is my computer background story.
