"Router" has more than one meaning.
One is a woodworking tool <link>.
The other is a data management device <link>.
BorgCo have decided to combine the two.
The design team have therefore prototyped a high speed wireless router.
This is a battery-powered rotary woodworking tool which
supports 802.11a and g protocols, DNS and DHCP, and has an integral firewall.
Now, it's possible both to reprofile pieces of wood and support a WAN/LAN installation, simultaneously, using the same piece of equipment.

Do you have anything else you want to ask before sentence of death is carried out ? |
|
| |
Why stop at two modes? Surely a third mode could
compete robotically in a long-distance horse race? |
|
| |
Will this range of workshop tools also include a drill that makes
holes in things, instructs people how to march properly, and
broadcasts loud, violent rap music?
And a screwdriver with
a hollow hip-flask-like handle full of vodka and orange juice? |
|
| |
And a saw that no longer sees? |
|
| |
And a hammer that processes pork. |
|
| |
And a light switch that controls a light bulb as well
as
network traffic. |
|
| |
5 Cat cable: run wires by placing 5 cats each with a
coil of wire next to the router, and an open can of
tuna next to each networked device. |

You will roux the day!

No that was just wrong.
As you were. |

There shall be a device to hold the workpiece, and it shall be something so vile that I refrain from mentioning it here. |

In British English, "route" is a homophone of "root", not of "rout".
In Australian English, "root" is not a homophone of "route", but is
a synonym of "fuck". |
|

However, since "debauch" is a medieval French metaphor from
"being away from your workbench", this is of no help
whatsoever. |
|
| |
I thought debauching was something one did at the edge of a forest or wooded area? |
|
| |
That's "debouch", is it not? |
|

<Adds original meaning of "debauch" to extensive list of interesting yet completely useless facts/> |

//"Router" has more than one meaning.// |
|
| |
"Bus" has more. Perhaps you could make a large PCI-E x16
slot with a 1000Amp+ capacity at 300kV into which failed
members of the public are encouraged for transport
reasons. "I know it looks strange, but trust me, it's an
electric bus, take a seat, it will be good for the
environment and you'll get where you're going in no time." |

// French metaphor from ""being away from your
workbench",// |

I'm suspicious. On one hand, it would mean that a state of
debauchery is the default for the population of France.
Which makes complete sense. However, for them to
generate that metaphor, it would mean they would
understand the meaning of work in the first place, which
is a bold claim. Maybe it's a loose term for sections of
Europe? Debauchery: France, Spain, Italy & Greece. Non-
Debauchery, Bauchery if you will: The rest. |

//but the root is also said to be a word meaning "workshop,"
which gets toward the notion of "to lure someone off the job;// |
|
| |
- if you read all the way to the end of the Etymonline link, without
getting lured off the job. |
|
| |
... by strong drink, gambling, tobacco, and negotiable affection, presumably... |
|
| |
Presumably the job is in the bushes. |
