Okay, so to get why this is funny you have to first go to:  http://hyperboleandahalf.blogspot.com/2010/04/alot-is-better-than-you-at-everything.html
This cartoon it totally derivative of Allie's work, but it was sooo funny, I couldn't resist. But seriously, the joke is hers.

Secondly, you have to know that my husband, Arthur, is a computer programmer and spends most of his day staring blankly at a computer monitor, being bored and frustrated and trying to fix computers (hopefully faster than new things break).
