Hmmmm, ever heard of this: The duck grape song. Your joke has some resemblance I'd say.
Cheers!

Preposterous! I can see no resembly between my joke and that song period! 
Nice song though. Very catchy... "Waddle, waddle. Till the very next day!" *sings and hums*
Edit:
Song 2 and 3 are great too

That convenience store used to be a bar[^], although why a duck, or anyone else would expect to be able to buy grapes in a bar beats me.
The only reason I raise this is because I have heard this one somewhere in the last week or two and assumed that it must have been on here although obviously not. It is going to drive me bananas, I don't like grapes, trying to track down where it was I heard/read it. Curse you Naerling!

I rarely go there, although it is a slight possibility.
I'll probably wake up in the middle of the night with the solution.

There must be a lot of strippers on that bar, cause all I'm seeing is this message:

Yep I got that at first, I had to change my settings to thread view to get to it. Not worth your bothering though, it's the same joke apart from the location and it was in 2003.

I'll give you benefit of the doubt: maybe it got lost on the translator's desk to make it to English or Dutch, but I found it pretty funny in grade school... 30-some years ago.
Still it made me smile and happy to know my memory (at least long term) is not as bad as I thought!

Bath salts do seem to be the latest whipping boy of bad behavior.
I was expecting the story to go more like this.
...he was soaking in bath salts in the back his SUV while eating chicken nuggets grown from in-organic battery cage raised chickens with a bacon side. A UK fox news magazine was found in his SUV and Justin Bieber still playing on the radio.
but if they wrote all that the bit about bath salts causing his problem might be a little less credible.

Sounds like an epidemic. Flesh eating rage machines taking over.
I'm off to get some weapons. I been waiting for this for a while.

If you still believe you need more weapons except the ones you were born with you really won't be a good fighter.
Just my two cents.
Cheers!

Being a good fighter and surviving the zombie take over are different things altogether.

Yeah right, zombies! How could I have missed that impotent (no misspelling) fact.

"Eugene had an arrest record, mostly misdemeanors, including a battery charge from when he was 16"
What? Charging batteries is a crime?  
I found this story quite disturbing actually, just what sort of a place is the US where this kind of thing can even happen?

Nothing to say.

I work for a large, well known OEM who ships their bundle (of crap) with their PC's. I have to say, after 4 months of looking at the code, I wanna puke.
The solution is HUGE with at least 30 projects in it, written in C# (WinForms and WPF), VB, C, C++, and god know what else.
Starting the app in debug mode takes forever, and fixing/changing anything is a long, drawn out affair.
What I'v realized is that for all this code, it really isn't that complicated logically. But as is usually the case with old legacy systems, it's bloated and well beyond it's time.
Why do companies allow this to go on?

If they numb your mind then they can manipulate you.
Think "date rape drugs" - only, for the work force.

I created a model for reporting on statistics that was modular and easy to plug into different systems(written in SAS). You want different stats, just write and plug in another module.
Another team reported on statistics and the statistics they produced were not of much use(only the final figure was of use to anyone the intermediate calculations were unavailable), their system was one monolithic piece of code(written in SAS).
A third person, who knew nothing but Excel, decided that the business logic should be solved entirely via Excel and by calling everyone elses work 'crap' managed to replace the statistical systems(written in SAS) with their Excel model.
Only thing is - my modular system took less than one minute to set up or change.
The other SAS system could not be amended as it was far too complex and nobody understood it.
The new Excel system takes a day to set up, as each time there is a change a whole load of new queries need writing for the Excel system.
The moral of the story - people don't tend to be convinced by scientific proof they tend to be convinced by fear and politics which is why the best does not always triumph when it comes to software...

The logic is that it's better to patch an existing POS then to write a new one that is elegant, easy to use and extend.

Which is true because management will always ask "what's the cost of this patch" in comparison to a rewrite, and like an emu, will have forgotten that it asked that same question 100 times before. And 100 times later, well what do you know, it's still cheaper to do this one patch as compared to rewriting the system.
