    How do you tell if a number is negative? - I've been asked this by a co-worker in real life.

    Well, if he never has anything nice to say, he's quite negative.

          I was stunned for a minute, kind of the same way I'd react if you asked me to help you tie your shoes because you forgot how. When I stammered less than zero, her face lit up and she thanked me for helping her out, because I'm just that awesome.

            Based on some feedback, I will be mixing in other games with 185. Or do you guys want it in addition to daily 185? Either way, here's a new one. It's called "World's Worst." It's a one liner game, so really try to keep them as one liners. And DO NOT copy and paste a joke, or retell a joke, it won't be funny and on stage, you'd get called out. I'll reply with a couple to get started. Keep in mind, references to others tend to gets high points. If anyone is still struggling to grasp it, here's a version from the World's Worst TV show: [^] "The World's Worst Software Developer"

                                        A series of quotes I've heard over the years. "There is no need to comment. The instructions tell you what is happening." "All these instructions in the S/370 Assembler is BS. You only need a handful of opcodes. Load, Store, Branch, Gosub, Return, Add, and Subtract. That's all you need." "The C compiler generates code just as good as anyone writing in Assembler." "The C compiler doesn't have any bugs like a program, it's a compiler, not a program." "Microsoft's memory manager does not work, which is why we wrote our own." "Source code control guarantees the program will always compile and run." "This processor can handle interrupts at any speed you choose." ...Hardware guys proceed to design hardware generating interrupts twice as fast as the processor can respond to, let alone process. "You don't have to worry about that condition. It only happens every once in a while." "Don't comment the code aside from a block of pseudocode at the beginning of the routine." "It can't be the hardware, it must be the software." ...explaining why only 1 of 60 identical controls is failing. After seeing prototype "Why can't we roll this out?" "Why can't you estimate how long it will take to write the software like we estimate how long it will take to build the hardware?" There are more, but this is depressing me.

                                          Based on some feedback, I will be mixing in other games with 185. Or do you guys want it in addition to daily 185? Either way, here's a new one. It's called "World's Worst." It's a one liner game, so really try to keep them as one liners. And DO NOT copy and paste a joke, or retell a joke, it won't be funny and on stage, you'd get called out. I'll reply with a couple to get started. Keep in mind, references to others tend to gets high points. If anyone is still struggling to grasp it, here's a version from the World's Worst TV show: [^] "The World's Worst Software Developer"

                                          I will never again mention that I was the poster of the One Millionth Lounge Post, nor that it was complete drivel.
