My, my, my: this and that?

I thought the conversation was rather funny that I had the other day. Only developers would talk like the following, and understand it too.

In VB.Net there is a new namespace called My. It is a high level shortcut to the .Net framework. See the MSDN article for more information.

"Is there an equivalent to My in C#?" I was asked.

"Not that I know of." I responded.

"Isn't this like My?"

"No, this is like Me."

The this keyword refers to the current instance of the class. If you want to use My in C#, read the article.
