Targus Wireless Keypad: Hey, how you doing? I guess we’re going to be working together.

Targus Wireless Mouse: Yeah, nice to meet you. Call me Mouse.

Targus Wireless Keypad: I’m Keypad. Nice to meet you, too. So, uh, you ball or optical?

Targus Wireless Mouse: Optical. We pretty much all are these days.

Targus Wireless Keypad: Oh, cool, cool. Why’d they refurb you?

Targus Wireless Mouse: Beats me. Some guy in Michigan sent me back, said I wouldn’t turn on. I think he had my batteries in the wrong way. I mean, come on, right? I thought everybody knew how to read that little battery diagram at this point. Crazy world. And you?

Targus Wireless Keypad: Well, my last owner spilled Mountain Dew all over me. I guess I shorted out or something, I don’t know. All I know is, it hurt. As if that wasn’t bad enough, it was Diet Mountain Dew.

Targus Wireless Mouse: Ugh. My condolences. Hey, can I ask you something?

Targus Wireless Keypad: Yeah, sure. Fire away.

Targus Wireless Mouse: Aren’t you a little small for a keyboard?

Targus Wireless Keypad: Heh, no, I’m not a keyboard. I’m a keypad.

Targus Wireless Mouse: There’s a difference?

Targus Wireless Keypad: Yeah, I’m just numbers. I’m designed for people who need to do 10-key entry on their laptops. You know, a lot of -

Targus Wireless Mouse: Laptops? Don’t you mean notebooks?

Targus Wireless Keypad: Yeah, whatever. Either one. Point is, a lot of them don’t have keypads, so if you need to do accounting or data entry, well, that’s where I come in.

Targus Wireless Mouse: So let me get this straight: you don’t have any letters at all?

Targus Wireless Keypad: Nope.

Targus Wireless Mouse: No letters?

Targus Wireless Keypad: No, no letters. Just numbers.

Targus Wireless Mouse: Huh. Too bad, because I could really use a keyboard with letters right now.

Targus Wireless Keypad: Oh, yeah? Why’s that?

Targus Wireless Mouse: To write an email to my agent telling him he’s fired.
