    Here is how I heard it: Mickey Mouse goes to a lawyer to get a divorce. The lawyer asks "Now let me get this straight, you want a divorce because you think Minnie is crazy?" Mickey answers "No, I said she was f***ing Goofy!"

    I don't know how many read this topic but those who rated the post where 50/50. I guess that's typical, so we as programmers are no more or less ethical than any other industry. "You get that on the big jobs."

    Reminds me of this one: The guy calls his boss "I won't be in today, I'm sick". The boss "how sick are you?" The guy "I'm screwing my sister, how sick is that?"

    It's not necessary that joke must have been posted with exact word. Instead I searched for "Hotel and you could have that". The key words will be same in all the jokes posted but the character and places can be different. Regards, Hiren. -"I don't know, I don't care, and it doesn't make any difference".

    FYI: It wasn't me that downvoted you. Unfairly so too in my opinion, so I'll upvote you just for that... :laugh: Why can't I be applicable like John? - Me, April 2011 ----- Beidh ceol, caint agus craic againn - Seán Bán Breathnach ----- Da mihi sis crustum Etruscum cum omnibus in eo! ----- Just because a thing is new don’t mean that it’s better - Will Rogers, September 4, 1932
