An EDM creator was sitting in a bar, and this hot blond was sitting just at the edge of earshot, and this EDM guy was talking to the bar tender about working on his next album. Well, this caught the blondes attention.. and she got up and slipped onto the stool next to the EDM guy. They exchanged hellos...and she looks at him and says. "So youre a musician??" He says... "Yeah, I guess you could say that" Then she says 'So, what do you play?... Guitar? Piano? Drums?" ..and the EDM guy says... "I play an Intel Quad Core" The girl looks toward the mirror behind the bar, and remained quiet for a minute. Thinking... Then she says.. "Oh, QUAD! .... so you play bass right?" 0_0
