I just reread this node (it popped to the top yearly best nodes) and this line:

I stared at Him for a good fifteen seconds. Then I got up and left the room.

just cracks me up. Kudos. Do you offer any lessons on how to do this well? I need to use it on our marketing people. My standard response to these situations has been to say "that's just silly." The silly line is quite effective in getting developers to rethink their entrenched stances but those marketing folks need something stronger.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
