IMO there are various degrees of wit. With practise everyone can improve. Yes that may result in a few dud remarks here and there... but even if only 5/10 remarks are highly entertaining (bear in mind eveyone has a different sense of humour), that doesn't mean they should hold back if they have something to say (and potentially lower on the wit-scale). The lounge is a relaxed place.. so any effort to liven the place up is welcome. Have you noticed that wisecracks often promote further conversation or give someone else a set-up for another joke? But I agree with your one point: those with true wit are few, and they probably lean towards a career as a comedian, not programming. :) "For fifty bucks I'd put my face in their soup and blow." - George Costanza ~ Web SQL Utility - asp.net app to query Access, SQL server, MySQL.

It started at an hour now it is done to 45 minutes. I do the breaststroke which is very easy and it gets me in my target heart range (usually 85% of theoretical max) without hurting the knees. I can run for a few weeks but then my shin splints come back :( Better sprinter anyway. A man said to the universe: "Sir I exist!"

I had a roomate in college who put beer in his cheerios because we ran out of milk. To this day when people say cheerios I always think of my old roomate and his 'beer'ios that he ate one morning. PS. From his reaction, I dont' think it tasted very good. Brett A. Whittington Application Developer
