    Love those SNL skits. A: "You drink water out of one of these." Q: "What is a leather glove?" "I'll take anal bum cover for $200." A: "This month ends with tober." Q: "What is Febtober?" "The day is mine!"

        You have never seen popups without captions, do you? Try to figure out how you close them... PS : task manager.
