    I was away from the office yesterday and someone, specifically a mechanical engineer, made a bunch of little sticky notes that he put over all C# book titles I have and wrote "Db" (D flat). How many of you have faced or created such humor? Tell the story.

      Hey - the engineer is violating copyright. Our very own Marc Clifton already invented Db[^]

        Uh, stuff like that just makes me cringe. Perhaps an appropriate response would have beek a fork on his desk with a post-it saying "off".

            The most humor I get in my office these days in my 2 year old son running through with his diaper off.

            A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly.

                • In C#, exception handling is used to unroll the stack with the "throw" keyword. In Db, this is again made more visually intuitive with the following keywords: * throwUp * upChuck * puke * ralph * hurl These convey different levels of exception severity and can be used by your application to determine the size of the bucket needed to catch the exception.

                  I'll let you tell him that. He isn't in today and I won't see him till Monday. By then I'll have quit groaning at how bad the joke was and have moved on to more entertaining ventures.

                    Prior to the Intel switch that would have been funny... now its just sad. Adding a Vista Compatible sticker to one would be just plain mean.

                          :laugh: Makes me think about a friend who released a free revision control product that he named fastcst pronounced "fascist". Some people in Italy wanted to use it but sent him an email asking him to change the name. Completely tongue in cheek his response was " I don't care". Sadly they didn't get.

                                    "Me ne frego" Loosely translated is "I don't care." This was the slogan of the Blackshirts, Italian paramilitary groups from post WW1 to WW2. I hope that helps and shows a bit of humor. :)

                                        My dad had that in his computer science classroom. "In case of emergency, break glass" with one of his nicer slide rules in the glass case. He thought it was cute. ;)
