She noticed the man opposite her was smiling at her.
She immediately moved to another seat. This time the smile turned into a grin, so she moved again.
The man seemed more amused. When on the fourth move, she had the man arrested.
The case came up in court. The judge asked the man (about 20 years old) what he had to say for himself.
The man replied, " Well your Honour, it was like this. When the lady got on the bus, I couldn't help noticing her condition. She sat under a sweets sign that said, "The Double Mint Twins are Coming" and I grinned.
Then she moved and sat under a sign that said, " Logan 's Liniment will reduce the swelling", and I had to smile.
Then she placed herself under a deodorant sign that said, "William's Big Stick Did the Trick", and I could hardly contain myself.
BUT, your Honour, when she moved the fourth time and sat under a sign that said, "Goodyear Rubber could have prevented this accident"...I just lost it."
CASE DISMISSED!

What do you do with 365 used condoms?
Melt them down into a tire and call it a Goodyear...
If you can't laugh at yourself - ask me and I will do it for you.

The version I know is "what's the difference between a car tyre and 365 used condoms" .....

There's always room for another good cover. But this one may upset some of you - especially if you're Led Zep fans. And I count myself as one. So here we go: Corinne Bailey Rae does "Since I've Been Loving You". Don't dismiss it without giving it a listen. If nothing else, check out the the amazing double bass.

Awesome. I'm old enough to remember Small Faces. They were brilliant. I doubt that the soundtrack of the 60s will ever be bettered and Itchycoo Park & Lazy Sunday were a big part of that. And then Stanley Unwin gets added to the mix. It's impossible not to smile.

This might have been asked earlier as well (or not), but how do you keep a cache of most common (spam, off-topic, homework, wrong-type) messages?
And how do you post them that fast?
The only thing I can think of is that you have some sort of a process and you use the API to submit the responses, etc. But what's the recipe?

Just keep them in files somewhere to copy and paste. Didn't realise this could be a mystery?

I used to do that, but then I overengineered it and used a DB, so I could search easily and keep them in "most commonly used" order. Then I overengineered that, so SQL Server was involved to share it across my devices.
Works for me.

Reminds me of the space race between NASA and the Russians. NASA developed a database so they could control the order of things. Russia just prefixed their filenames with a number
You should develop a browser plug-in that analyses the content of the current page and suggests an auto-reply for you. Would make an interesting article.

My first thought on reading that was of old BASIC; you were advised to increase line numbers in 10s in case you needed to insert some code later on.
10 PRINT "I love BASIC"
20 GOTO 10

That sounds pretty good. Could you send the codez pleez?

The main reason I have "boiler-plate" messages is to prevent me being rude to the elephanting idiots that think the world should do their homework for them, or that google is hard to use.
Having a boilerplate "we don't do your homework" message prevents me from venting at them, which has to be good for everyone in the long run. I still get tempted to add a little something to a few of 'em though ...

Upon appropriate contemplation (and remarkably in-depth analysis) it all leads to one conclusion: What's the fun in that?

Pity, a good rant or dressing down is much more interesting to the rest of us.
