Whatever will we launch the space shuttle from? How will lawyers take notes? WHERE WILL DOCTORS WRITE OUT PRESCRIPTIONS?<br /><br />Yes, it was kind of funny when 132% of everyone who heard about the iPad went to the menstruation jokes... but seriously, if the product succeeds, this is going to blow over. Apple's marketing department is not composed entirely of idiots, and as soon as they start making the mental comparisons to writing pads, people will stop making the same lame joke. Over and over and over and over again. But I guess we'll still have to endure them for a few more months.Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14664975442130119477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883634615775822475.post-44451430496590919542010-01-28T10:39:34.060-05:002010-01-28T10:39:34.060-05:00I'm sure the jokes will die down.
