Do not eat iPod shuffle.
It's a reference to this image [apple.com] at the Apple site that shows the relative size of the Shuffle. This is almost as good as the whole "Cookies are a Delicious Treat" thing or whatever it is in Firefox.

Just today I saw an ad for a new Microwave oven that cooks your food on a random temperature for a random length of time! Surprise!
And then there's the clothes washer that picks a random cycle; What will it be today? Color? Whites? Gentle?
My favorite is the new service from eTrade that shuffles your stock portfolio. Takes all the effort out of trading!

"But I'm holding it in my right hand already"
"I mean right-click... there's two buttons, use the right-hand-side one"
"They're both on my right-hand-side... is there another of these?"
For the older generation, right-click makes no sense at all until you do this kind of mind-flip. I eventually latched on to calling it the rightmost button, but you can see why it may be confusing for someone who hasn't quite got their mind in the right mode yet.
