I knew this one guy who liked telling old jokes, but pretending it actually happened to him. But he's dead now. He walked into a bar and broke his skull.

"depends on how this startup thing goes"

I hope it goes well for you.

You'll need the day job.


He probably shouldn't have asked the bartender for duck food, then.


I'm sorry, I don't get it. Please explain.


"Put it on my bill"?


He kept asking for soup & quackers?


I wish it were a joke. I just googled the PHB that said that to me. He is alive and well, MBAing at his fourth company. Pity his tech people.

You got me to thinking. I have lots of old stories that would appear to be stolen jokes if you didn't know any better. One of my favorites is the user who wanted a list of SKUs not on the computer. Still haven't figured out what he was thinking.


So I am right in assuming you are the guy who submitted this story then: http://thedailywtf.com/Articles/The-Speedup-Loop.aspx ?

Yes, I do in fact store every single link I ever read on reddit in my brain.


Gaaa I spent the past 10 minutes of my life searching for that link in TheDailyWTF and CodingHorror. Thx. You win.


I did this: "dailywtf loop" in google. It's the first result.


Hmm... Just when you think it can't get any worse...


Can't be me. And I can prove it:

I only submit here.

Different language.

Different PHB.

Different result.

The programmer showered and shaved.
