Old guys making jokes about computers like
“I wanted to print out something at home so I asked my son how, he said, ‘ctrl-p’. I said, ‘if I could control pee I’d be doing this at the library!’”

My grandad asked me how to print on his computer…
I told him it’s Ctrl-P. He says he hasn’t been able to do that for ages.
