For the original context of the "Orange Juice" joke, follow this link.
This conversation demonstrates how the computer cannot compete with the human mind in making abstract connections from one fragment of information to another and recreate an entirely new context from the fragments. "This" was one of many Shipka's objectives. For us, as students, to explain how we de-construct and re-construct "these" fragments of old information and re-assemble the fragments into new information while re-creating new meaning-making. "This" in itself becomes a new argument worth exploring.
