If it makes you feel any better, you can rest assured that Capitol Hill doesn't know how the Internet works either.

" And again, the Internet is not something that you just dump something on. It's not a big truck. It's a series of tubes. And if you don't understand, those tubes can be filled and if they are filled, when you put your message in, it gets in line and it's going to be delayed by anyone that puts into that tube enormous amounts of material, enormous amounts of material." - Alaskan Senator Ted Stevens

To be fair, at this late date, the tubes analogy isn't that bad. I forget what point he was trying to make though.

I think he was trying to download something, it was taking time, and he thought the requested files are all in order in "the tubes". He had to wait for the other files to be delivered before his arrived.

...or something.

This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.
