Blow me

I love those high pressured cans of air that you use to clean computer keyboards and electronics. Holy shit they're so exciting! It's fun to point that thing at your keyboard like a pistol and watch little particles of who-knows-what fly everywhere. Funny, I don't remember eating Doritos at my computer?

But there's also an element of fear involved, for me anyway. The outside of the can has all kinds of warning labels posted on it basically stating that its contents under pressure will potentially explode like a Palestinian car bomb leaving a path of destruction for approximately a 4 block radius. The can itself also gets really cold to the touch after you've used it for a few seconds. That, naturally, leads me to believe that the inevitable explosion is approaching rapidly! Plus, it starts to hiss a little bit. So after I blow out my laptop's keyboard I usually hold the air can about two feet out in front of me, ever so delicately, the way a bomb squad member might handle a ticking suitcase he had just discovered. I then walk carefully to my file cabinet and close that sucker in the drawer as fast as possible and scurry away.

Cleanliness can be such a thrill,
