From: Mike '/m' 


The gym I work out at has a bunch of high school kids working out (the
wrestling and football teams, I think).  One of them was sitting on the
stationary bike next to mine for an hour or so as we "rode".  He
started talking so I listened.  His big problem was that his Mom took away
his modem because he did not listen to her (this was about five years ago
before DSL kicked in).  "She told me if I don't listen to her, she'll
ground me... I didn't know she meant she would take my **modem** away from
me.  I thought I'd just lose the car keys."
