Are Those Nipples? Oh, They’re Faces!

I overheard these words from a computer illiterate sexagenarian (someone 60-69 yrs old) as his daughter helped him sign up for a Facebook account and he viewed the homepage for the first time. Yep, you read that right.  He said, “Are those nipples? Oh, they’re faces!”

I never ever considered that these little yellow icons could be nipples. Now, after hearing that question, I can never look at this page the same way. In addition to the ab-crunching, side-busting laughter I experienced, my mind underwent a perceptual scarring. Maybe I’ll forget about it some day, but I doubt it. How about you?

    Facebook helps you connect and share with the nipples in your life? I guess I’m OK with that on a very strictly limited basis.

    Thanks for stopping by and dropping your thoughts onto the page.

    @ Kristin: See, now you’ll never look at this page the same again.

    @Omawarisan: I think that would be a great new tagline for Facebook.
