Actually, this is often mis-attributed to Groucho Marx. It's unknown who wrote this one, but it is similar to other types of things Marx has written. (The style of joke is called a paraprosdokian)
Overreacting? That kind of behavior by teachers is NOT appropriate. Just because there are worse things out there doesn't make it okay. And not all 14 year old kids have parents who let them see smut on the internet.
I'm so glad I read through all these comments to find the bit of trivia about The Silver Streak! So sweet. Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory will ALWAYS be my favorite movie, but the new one was aight, too.
Hrm... this seems kind of mean-spirited and it barely scratches the surface of geek phyla. Let them have their fun. They're probably managing your servers.
We were trying to sell our house when the housing market did its thing and so we've had to stay here to avoid losing money on the place. I'd really love to move anyway and just rent this house out, but it's people like Alex's neighbor's renters (in the comment above me) that make me terrified to even try and rent. I absolutely think people who are thieves (which is what rent dodging amounts to) should be outed.
I also can bring on a stubborn sneeze by looking at the sun briefly. I thought that was pretty common?
And I also get hives if my skin gets too cold. It was hell in high school dressing out for PE for first period in the winter! I also would get them anywhere there was pressure on my skin like elastic bands on socks and panties and of course where you have pressure standing (my feet!) or sitting (my butt!). They went away for many, many years (18 years or so?) but have recently come back, but so far it's only happening with cold skin. What a pain in the ass allergies are. I think mine are related to an increase in soy, by the way.
I'll say that bacon is unpatriotic. Pig farms contaminate our water. They stink and draw flies. The amount of water and grain that goes to feed pigs has far more value than the meat you actually get from the pigs. Watering livestock is reducing our water supply at alarming rates and the demand for grain to feed livestock is taking its toll on the land. Raising livestock is so expensive that it has to be subsidized all to hell, reducing the money available to subsidize healthy foods so we get cheap bacon and expensive produce. What else? Oh yeah, it contributes to the worst, most deadly diseases we've got. Take your meat and shove it.
