Back in my day I was an operator on a Burroughs B3500. This machine had core memory. If you bumped the tape cart against the memory cabinet a little too hard it would cause a memory fault. Apparently those ferrite donuts didn't like being jostled.
You can't expect me to spend 3 minutes of my life reading a convoluted mess of a dialog, only to have no punch line.
A joke doesn't need to have a punch line. Witness:
A teenage boy is getting ready to take his girlfriend to the prom. First he goes to rent a tux, but there’s a long tux line at the shop and it takes forever.
Next, he has to get some flowers, so he heads over to the florist and there’s a huge flower line there. He waits forever but eventually gets the flowers.
Then he heads out to rent a limo. Unfortunately, there’s a large limo line at the rental office, but he’s patient and gets the job done.
Finally, the day of the prom comes. The two are dancing happily and his girlfriend is having a great time. When the song is over, she asks him to get her some punch, so he heads over to the punch table and there’s no punchline.
Because doctors never fuck up, do they? Explain that to the half million American hurt and the quartet million killed every year by medical negligence.
What's all this fuss I hear about Killer Asterisks? Asterisks just sit there on a piece of paper like a tiny little bird doo-doo. What harm can they possibly cause?
I was right all the time from day one. But no matter where I go, these morons I'm surrounded by just don't see it, and give me crap work to do when I should be running things MY way.
Jim Croce said it best:
Tried to find me an executive position
But no matter how smooth I talked
They wouldn't listen to the fact that I was a genius
The man say, "We got all that we can use."
That reminds me of a joke. Guy goes into a bar and orders a scotch. He downs that quickly and goes through three more in the same fashion. The bartender asks him if he's celebrating anything. The guy says "Yeah, just had my first blowjob." Bartender says "Congratulations! Here's another one, on the house." The guy says "No thanks. If four scotches won't get the taste out of my mouth, another one isn't going to help."

Back in my dad's day the memory spun and made noises. No idea if he liked it.

Ob quote from The Graduate:
Mr. Braddock: Ben, this whole idea sounds pretty half-baked.
Benjamin: Oh, it's not. It's completely baked.
And I don't think they're referring to "text" and "data" pages since that has been in Sparc since before the V8/V9.

Hell, a Pentagon toilet seat costs that much.

But I am comfortably numb.
"It will take a full 16 months for New Horizons to transmit all the data it collects."
What, does NASA use Comcast?
Should be a pretty rare occurrence. They haven't made Galaxies for over 40 years.
Don't they call that "thunder"?
Computer generated cows say "mu".
In a past life one of my co-workers wrote an APL interpreter. It put the terminal into graphics mode to generate the funky APL character set.
This is the "Me" post.

There are 10 types of people in this world. You are not either of them.
FTFY.
where will the founder explain how it died?
I'm curious to see how /. explains how it died.
Four letter words: "Beta". Or "Dice".
Where are the dead parents? That's what I want to know...
Under the sea.
Panic now, while there is still time!
Screw that. I want the computer to panic for me.
Oh, wait. Systemd...

I'm pretty sure it could be scaled up for a complete lawn.
I've had good luck with one of these.

politicians are "low order" primates, And like many other low level primates they also throw their poo.
I find this insulting to primates.
