No.  It's funny because it's fucking stupid.
My new puppy is precious.  My computers are just fucking machines.

That brought back horrible memories. A friend's wife referred to the mutt
as precious puppy. I think it was an Airedale or something up that line.
It ate her pantyhose which led to her chasing it around the yard trying to
step on its new nylon tail being extruded from its butt.

Even sadder, she had a cat that was precious kitty that was exiled to the
basement when they got precious puppy. My wife and I had a bet on whether
the dog would wind up in the cellar with the cat when she popped out a
precious baby.
