But with computers it's just you, alone and naked at 2am, just you and the rubber duck you're holding up like Hamlet with poor Yorick's skull and asking

Should I name my calculator app Fat Daddy Slickfingers
🦆
no response
🐺 ...do you have any objection to my naming this app Fat Daddy Slickfingers
🦆 ...
🐺 Then it's settled
There's nobody there to tell you no, just the rubber duck and he can't talk, only weep, weep for daddy fingers
