Why you deserve a slap in the face today! [modified]
-
I was reading an article[^] (it's about Powershell so ignore of of no interest) and came across this:
Now, quick survey: Who here has time to learn yet another scripting language? If you raised your hand then I need you to do the following: move your arm until your hand is in front of your face, still a full arm’s length away. Make sure the you are looking right at your palm. Now, take your hand and slap yourself in the face repeatedly until you understand that you don’t have time to learn anything new. Not unless you sacrifice something else, or you have the ability to inject additional minutes into your day, will you really have enough time to learn something new.
1. It made me laugh 2. It reminded me of the recently introduced de-facto standard subject line. So I thought I'd share.
Henry Minute Do not read medical books! You could die of a misprint. - Mark Twain Girl: (staring) "Why do you need an icy cucumber?" “I want to report a fraud. The government is lying to us all.” Why do programmers often confuse Halloween and Christmas? Because 31 Oct = 25 Dec.

It always seems to be those that are comfortable with the subject matter and their audience that make quips like this in their article. I believe the added comic relief gos a long way in our profession. Kinda like reading the quips on the daily cp news e-mail. :cool:

I once got a dance from a stripper that involved a lap in my face.
