Good one Stygg. That reminds me, my wife says that to me often these days except it's not files it's fly.

I suspect it's about unzipped flies but I just don't really get the joke...??

Look at Larry's reply Boy in #4 and you'll see what I meant by a play on words.
Your files are unzipped-substitute files for flys as in trouser zip. A part from that my friend, you've just killed that cartoon stone dead.

(only joking Boy)

As I said, I suspected as much but why use the plural? Why not say, "Your file is unzipped"? And why two guys?

I thought hard and long before I dared raising the issue because I knew I was killing the joke. But you know what, Stygg, tough luck!

Is it not 'your fly's unzipped' [as in short for 'your fly is'] so 'file's unzipped' is spot on - just need the apostrophe

the joke stands stygg.. good one

I'm not criticizing the joke (or Stygg -- he's great). It's just that I didn't get it, I still don't really get it. You guys got it and I'm missing the point. So, I'd better zip it.
