Didn't he show his "harry potter" on the web a few years back?

That would be hairy potter

I've just got a job at the travelling circus .......I cant do any tricks or anything, I'm just the only one that can get the tent back in the bag.

did you let the cat out of the bag first?

circus and tent => big bag
circus and cat => big cat
So there we have it: His circus performance begins when he lets the cat out of the bag.

That was, well, entertaining, at least.

A old snake goes to see his vet: "Doc, I need something for my eyes - I can't see well these days."
The vet fixes him up with a pair of glasses and tells him to come back in two weeks.
The snake comes back in 2 weeks and tells the vet he's very depressed.
"What's the problem - didn't the glasses help you?"
"The glasses are fine doc, I just discovered I've been living with a garden hose for 2 years!"
Anyone seen my coat?

Try putting on your glasses 
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

I tried that: turned out I'd been watering the flowers with a python for a couple of years.

I immediately thought of this, but that's clearly not Python...

Ok, so the trend in Windows / WinForms design has been toward minimalism, right?
They've flattened out the colors and made icons two-dimensional, removed borders from windows and all the rest, right.
But why, why, why? Do they use these gigantic windows to display one line of text? 
Visual Studio 2017 Example
Example dialog from Visual Studio 2017[^]
Android Studio is guilty too...
Android studio window from one of my articles here at CP[^]
Neither of those windows can be resized either.
I believe the designers are thinking, "well, one day I may decide to put more text and stuff on that window..." They are subscribing to the Indecisive Design Theory
raddevus Indecision is the key to flexibility.

Always good when you get a reference to Monty Python.

Just to derail things, am I the only one who despises this trend toward flattening everything?
|

but I enjoy flattening cockroaches, flies, mosquitos...

No, you are not the only one.
Everyone despises it. 
Well, I despise it. It's terrible.

I used to like it. On my Atari ST[^] back in 1986. At least they tried to add some shadows to let the windows float 'above' the desktop.

I think we all do.... I also suspect the rationale behind it is because such designs work better on mobile phones (less clutter), and Microsoft have a bee in their bonnet about have the same OS for desktops and mobiles ("One OS to rule them all...")
IMO, they should accept that they missed the mobile boat and give up on it - and concentrate their efforts on the desktop environment and its users.
