        Lighten up Francis. It was a joke. However, if you talk to business people I think you'll find that they think it's true.

                  Don't be too quick to claim credit -- before there were programmers, it used to be a joke about engineers.

                                    If they switch to using a separate server for jokes, that would probably be a good thing.

                                        She didn't say I looked anything like you... oh wait, she said you looked like a horse's ass.

                                        I was brought up to respect my elders. I don't respect many people nowadays.

                                          And yet she still invites me over.
