the lap story

Ever wondered what does the word Lap mean?? Well it can mean anything...i mean literally anything...from "the upper side of the thighs of a seated person" to "touching with the tongue" to "link access protocol" and "Licence Area Plan" and swimming 'laps' in a pool and what not. Just give a search on Google as "what is lap" and see the interesting possibilities (note:search also the images and you will find the diversity of the word LAP). So if lap can have such a wide connotation think what havoc can laptop play?? I chose this subject of laptop to write the day I got my new IBM laptop (ibm likes to call it t40 notebook..they don't like laptops :)). So what is now a laptop? A dinky keyboard married to a great LCD screen with unpredictable battery life to give a portable mess. Thats the normal definition. But have u considered the other mutations ..say laptop dancing....ooohhhlalala...or say puttin your head on someone's lap and looking up the clean blue sky on a sunday afternoon. I can already feel that your imagination is really stretching out ...and you are thinking aloud. Nothin wrong. After all lap-tops are supposedly for resting..whether its your portable computer or someones relaxed head. Now think about the most tabooed lap thing-the lap dancing. How many of you have actually experienced that and not enjoyed that?? Touch your heart and say that. Probably you stared impassively, as if watching the share prices on yahoo; your friends and companions will usually be too polite to claim a free eyeful, and so tend to talk among themselves, or look away at other dancers arranging themselves gymnastically around a chrome pole on the stage.
