Talk like a what?

Earlier this evening, I was explaining a dirty joke to an 89-year-old man. I thought a) this is not a problem, as long as one has the right 89-year-old man; b) most 89-year-old men have forgotten more dirty jokes than I have ever heard; and c) okay, I'll have another stout.

I feel so left out, would someone tell me the joke? :-(

Sure. It wasn't really a joke in the formal knock-knock-lightbulb-chicken tradition, and I wasn't so much explaining it to Art as making sure he heard all the words. Ulrika referred to the small mouse-substitute on some laptop computer keyboards as the clitoral button and mused that she could imagine some female computer engineer saying that it was about time for gender equity, since we already understand all about the joystick.
