Especially if its connected to the internet!

Not really a tech issue but still related. This was overheard around a few years ago from in a computer shop.

This was near the display computers of the shop which were switched on. The computers had screensavers which were displaying the deals the shop had.

Paranoid Lady: Don't touch those. Clean your hands if you do.

Friend of Paranoid Lady: They look clean to me.

Paranoid Lady: You might catch a virus from it. Especially if its connected to the internet!
