I don't use grub either (long live lilo!), and I am not a girl, and I
didn't get about half of the jokes anyway.  But I still thought it was
entertaining :)

FWIW, incase anyone is wondering, "girls" can be used in colloquial
English to refer to a group of adult women, though not everyone likes
being called so.   It certainly doesn't exclude anyone of any particular
age.  In some contexts I would cheefully use it of groups of women who
were my grandma's age (and she's 80!).
