Seriously - try asking for an NPN MOSFET in a language you speak horribly.
Also, it's one of those things that people who work regularly with the less pleasant portions of human kind have to develop some sort of defense mechanism simply to avoid going crazy. Whether that's calling the ward of the care facility full of brain dead the 'vegetable garden' or whatever (since all you can do is feed 'em, clean 'em, and turn them twice a day) or whatever .... That's human nature. We have to laugh at what's possibly the worst thing known to man.
Go read the original 'Stranger in a Strange Land' for an examination of humanity.
