I don’t get why the word “iPad” is so funny! I’m married and I know all about feminine hygiene products and still don’t see the humor. Maybe because as a designer and an illustrator I use a “pad” every day, or because as a business owner I use a “pad” for my “to do” list or maybe as the host of cool parties I invite friends over to my “pad”…someone please help me, has anyone really chuckled and let out a belly laugh when they first heard the word “iPad”??…is it the “i” or the “pad” or the combination that’s funny?…help me, I’m losing my sense of humor!!!! OR perhaps people are out to get Apple….hmmmm, can such a small stone made up of 4 little letters really take down this innovative giant?

David, I thought it was funny…
Some of my friends were joking on the ipad in regards to feminine hygiene and said that the larger version of ipad will be coming out next… the max-ipad or maybe the maxipad.
Did you know that a-p-p-l-e is prank Luso-American (2nd generation Portuguese in the US) kids play on the new Portuguese kid on the block. A Luso-American would ask the native Portuguese kid, who barely speaks English, to spell apple really fast… lol. The transliteration is “I peed over there” and in Portuguese it’s sounds like a-p-p-l-e and is spelled like this “eu pi pi ali”.
Some more dry humor.

Yes. You’re losing your sense of humor. It’s funny. Sounds silly. Look at it like this. iCondom. iPump. iRing. iStrap. iSac. iCup.
It’s just wrong. :>)
