Well, here in the Land of Smiles, StarBucks put its mighty foot down on two brothers who operate a coffee street-cart in Bangkok who dared to use the name "StarBung" [^], with a logo that looks derivative, but which they claim reflects their Muslim heritage, and the fact their cart/stall is halal. fyi: one of the brothers goes by the nickname, "Bung."
The tempest-in-a-javapot is all over now; the brothers at first reportedly told StarBucks to shove off, and that they should pay them 3 million Baht (about $93K US) ... points for chutzpah !
But, this show of bravura didn't last long, and they folded; probably after they had an offer they couldn't refuse and still keep their heads on their shoulders from some local official.
fyi: StarBucks franchise coffee in Thailand could be used to tan leather, mummify road-kill, sterilize medical equipment, and open clogged drains; beyond that, I am not sure what it's good for.
“But I don't want to go among mad people,” Alice remarked.
“Oh, you can't help that,” said the Cat: “we're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad.”
“How do you know I'm mad?” said Alice.
“You must be," said the Cat, or you wouldn't have come here.” Lewis Carroll

A man in a Ford Pinto pulls up next to a guy in a Rolls Royce at a stop sign. Their windows are open and he yells at the guy in the Rolls: "Hey, you got a telephone in there?" The guy in the Rolls says, "Yes, of course I do." "I got one too... see?" "Uh, huh, yes, that's very nice."
Then the man in the Pinto says, "You got a fax machine?" "Why, actually, yes, I do." "I do too! See? It's right here!" "Uh-huh." The light is just about to turn green and the guy in the Pinto says, "So, do YOU have a double bed in back there?" And the guy in the Rolls says, "NO! Do you?" "Yep, got my double bed right in back here. See?" The light turns green and the man in the Pinto takes off.
Well, the guy in the Rolls is not about to be one-upped, so he immediately goes to a custom shop and orders them to put a double bed in back of his car. About two weeks later, the job is finally done and he picks up his car and drives all over town looking for the Pinto. He finally finds it parked alongside the road so he pulls his Rolls up next to it. The windows on the Pinto are all fogged up and he feels a little awkward about it, but he gets out of his newly modified Rolls and taps on the foggy window of the Pinto. The man in the Pinto finally opens the window a crack and peeks out.
The guy in the Rolls says, "Hey, remember me?" "Yeah, yeah, I remember you. What's up?" "Check this out - I got a double bed installed in my Rolls!" And the man in the Pinto says, "You got me out of the shower to tell me that?!!"

A joke about having a phone and a fax in a car...and a Ford Pinto.
How old is this joke?

At least as old as the Hurricane Mop[^], I think.

Ravi that reminds me of the Texan that was visiting in Vermont. After walking around the Vermont farmer's land, the Texan said "At my ranch it takes 2 days to drive around the whole place."
After a pause, the Vermonter replied "Ah yeah, I used to have a car like that, too."

I too enjoyed it overall, with the exception of Brad Paisley and some other guys' version of Here Comes the Sun, to me that's one of those songs you don't mess with.

Yup. Losing interest fast in Sochi. My wife and I watched this instead.
Impressed with Joe Walsh and Keith Urban (among others). They sure can play the guitar.
What, me worry?

I turned to the wife and said
"Ding Ding. Seconds out, round One"
And that's how the fight started.

I turned to the wife and said
"Return type, function name, open parenthesis ..."
.. and that's how the argument started.
