They can also troll you.

Wedgie or virus which would you choose

There’s a new computer virus out, it’s called the “Nermal Virus”, it’s cuteness is sickening.

With friends like those, you don’t need enemies.

Online friends can also scam you. I better chance with real-life friends

They can also be a man from Ghana posing as a woman who is deeply in love with you but needs some financial help due to circumstances beyond her control…. ***Note: Gender reversal but right now The Count is working with a woman who is so bonded with an online sweetie, as in engaged, a guy from Ghana she met via computer that that is all she talks about in endearing terms. No kidding.

Funny thing about online friends. Sometimes worlds collide. I made a friend on FB with a woman through a Christian page (that was started by a country music singer we both like). One time while talking we discovered that she knew my husband when he was a teen; her family took him in when his mother moved away without telling him (he was in Europe visiting his father). She was like his “sister from another mister”. Now our families are firmly attached: my daughters even call her Auntie.

It is better to take the wedgie rather than the computer getting a computer virus.

oooh boy, wait until Jon boy discovers the truth…

I have learned over the years that we need social interaction.

I hate it, but it’s true.

Wedgies leave less lasting damage than a computer virus though Jon

People online probably don’t like Jon either.

Anyone who gives you a computer virus is not your friend. That’s one of the ways in which they differ from biological viruses.

Also you can’t really hang out

I’m sorry to break it to you, Jon, but guys that give you wedgies aren’t friends. It’s just like a woman I once knew, knew enough to pop the question to. She tended to be violent and belligerent, so a true lover, and wife, she was not.

Online girlfriends can pour their milk in front of the webcam, without being judged!

The possibility of physical contact is always risky.

Don’t forget all the identity thieves that are out there, Jon. If anyone remembers that time that Jon had his identity stolen, only for the thief to give it back just as soon as it was stolen.

This is so based, this is my favorite garfield comic to date

Computer viruses ARE online wedgies

And they can’t see you make faces at them…

Gee, maybe that’s Jon’s problem, too many wedgies when he was growing up.

They can send it to you. :)

How many online friends does Jon even have?
