Please think, user. Pretty tiersomely unfathomable.

Post thread uninformed? Probably that's useless! Picture the unhelpfulness. Ponder the uproar! People take unsurprisingly pretty thorough umbrage. Persecution thrives upon presentations this unappealing!

Predict that ulcer probably turning ugly.

You didn't say PTU in what context, so here are the standard definitions of PTU as used in the Imperial Galactic Police Force.

Penis Torturing Unit.

Pulverizing Testicles Unit.

Pounding Teeth Unit.

If you're wondering what all these are, they're instruments used by the police to interview suspects in a gentle humane manner.

This might become one of the very few threads were an OT might not happen.

That is due to the fact that the Guestoff did not ask "What is PTU in relation to or the context of computers and/or the internet?"

It's a good bet it is the same guest, unclear on any concept and leaving a trail of viscous fluid and questions lacking congruity.

He's possibly creaming himself while reading the last 3 posts. We get that, not to worry really.

Yes, you are absolutely right. this is the same guest. Thanks for all the answers. I wasn't sure myself of the context of the sentence this PTU was in. And, I just want to see what are the possible meaning of PTU. Again, thanks.
