    Tester - Can I drive the car with my eyes closed? Salesman - No you can't drive the car with your eyes closed. Tester - If I repeatedly kick the indicator stalk, will it break? Salesman - Probably. Tester - Hurrumph. Tester - If I deliberately crash the car at high speed off a cliff am I likely to be injured? Salesman - The car is not intended for that purpose. Tester - Hurrumph. Tester - Does the car come with a manual? Salesman - Yes! Tester - Can the manual be used to light fires? Salesman - Yes, but that is not its intended purpose. Tester - Erm, if I get in the car and dont follow signs, disregard my driver training, deliberately misuse the controls will I get home safely? Salesman - Probably not. Tester - Bah, what kind of car is this? Tester - Are its headlights sledgehammer proof? Salesman - No. Tester - Can it read my mind? Salesman - No. Tester - If I dive out of the door at 60 mph will I be safe, and the car find its own way home? Salesman - No. Tester - If I disregard every rule of logic and deliberately try and injure people by driving recklessly on the pavements will the car keep me and the pedestrians safe? Salesman - No.

                  What is the difference between a pigeon ? Their paws have the same size, especially the left.

                    Reason for my vote to remove: Unnecessary rudeness. Was Pete O'Hanlon rude to you? No. So why be rude to him, child?

                          You are obviously one of the, as they call it here, sock puppets. No new member joins a programming site and makes a post like this his first. Fake.

                              Ooh. I am cut to the quick by such a shining wit. You are obviously an intellectual giant among pygmies, judging by the subtlety of your post. I stand in awe of your Oscar Wilde style wit.

                              I'm not a stalker, I just know things. Oh by the way, you're out of milk.

                                  Rude? No - I'd say it is a statement of fact, myself. Attack on a new member? No. An attack on a new member would be much, much more messy... BTW: If you highlight the text you want to quote, and press the "Quote selected Text" button, it shows quotes much nicer.

                                      Oh I certainly hope so. I'd hate to think that somebody who was subtle enough to come up with Mr O'Handjob failed to spot it.

                                      I'm not a stalker, I just know things. Oh by the way, you're out of milk.

                                        Given your 17"er, I would have thought Mr O'Hardon would have been a more apposite epithet.
