April F... oh, wait...
Posted at 04:08 PM
Another 4/1 come and gone, and I've been too wound up to do anything.
I was really in to it in the past, and had a lot of fun preparing some of my previous stunts:

...which includes my personal favorite, which to this day I'm amazed at the response.
But, alas, no time to think of something, no time to prepare. April 1st raced in all of a sudden without me even realizing. Two years without doing anything. How disappointing...
Anyway, one of these days I'll come up with something appropriate. At least I have a year to think about it now.

*wink, wink!*
Posted at 11:32 AM
A man with a winking problem is applying for a position as a sales representative for a large firm. The interviewer looks over his papers and says, "This is phenomenal. You've graduated from the best schools; your recommendations are wonderful, and your experience is unparalleled. Normally, we'd hire you without a second thought. However, a sales representative has a highly visible position, and we're afraid that your constant winking will scare off potential customers. I'm sorry.... we can't hire you."
"But wait," he said. "If I take two aspirin, I'll stop winking!"
"Really? Great! Show me!"
So the applicant reaches into his jacket pocket and begins pulling out all sorts of condoms: red condoms, blue condoms, ribbed condoms, flavored condoms; finally, at the bottom, he finds a packet of aspirin. He tears it open, swallows the pills, and stops winking.
"Well," said the interviewer,"that's all well and good, but this is a respectable company, and we will not have our employee womanizing all over the country!"
"Womanizing? What do you mean? I'm a happily married man!"
"Well then, how do you explain all these condoms?"
"Oh, that," he sighed. "Have you ever walked into a pharmacy, winking, and asked for aspirin?"

Beforehand I are sorry about administration ©©©©©©©, but it is the very important question! Hi, I from Russia The people kind help ©©©©©©©©©©, at me happened very much trouble and urgently is necessary to me money. It is so much to me simply to not type(collect) in the shortest term! I think if each will give on 1 or 2$ ©r it is more, I shall type(collect) the sum in time! I am sure among the users given ©©©©© there will be kind and understanding people. Beforehand I thank, Konstantin. Here my purse: Z103059359370 I know the world not without the KIND PEOPLE! ---------------- I are sorry, but I poorly know English and consequently used the interpreter of the texts
P.S. I need 3000$!!!
Well, that's a new one to me...
I find it amusing that this guy is asking OTHER PROGRAMMERS for lots of money. Who does he think we are? I'm sure there are guys in India just lining up to turn over a portion of their $2/hour wages for this...

Soakin' Easter
Posted at 10:09 AM
We went to the Miami Seaquarium on Easter Sunday because they had an Easter egg hunt and games for the little one.
There was a time when you could expect to get wet at only one show: the killer whale show. Now, it's gotten to the point where you need a bathing suit in every show.
The top deck dolphin show: we got wet. Well, they got wet; I was busy guarding the stroller. I still don't know how it happened, but they came downstairs soaked.
The sea lion show: we got wet. The SEA LION show and we got wet. I know you're wondering how that was possible: at one point in the show, the sea lion jumps up on the railing (and an indian family that was sitting out there literally ran from their seats) in front of the audience, then a handler decides to give him a garden hose, and he proceeds to hose down the entire audience.
The Flipper show: we got wet. Well, I got wet this time, and only slightly, because I was brained by a beach ball launched by one of the dolphins.
The killer whale show: we sat on the upper level, so we didn't get wet. But they seem to have calmed down the show. It wasn't the "soak the entire audience" splashtacular that it use to be. The whale only did a few major jumps, and even those were contained by the retaining wall. She did soak the center of the audience by smashing the water several times with her tail; even with the employees warning people and pointing at the splash area, people were still surprised at getting soaked.
It's always relieving to see some guy with a $1000 camera or a brand new phone trying to shake out 55-degree salt water from it.
By this time, we were afraid to even see the manatees.
All in all, a decent day. My first day off in months, to be honest. I think we all needed it.
