Some of you have heard this story already, but too bad: the rest of you haven't.
When jnc and I were interviewing sfllaw for a co-op job a couple years ago, the following exchange occurred:
Joe: It says on your resume that your worst vice is bad puns.
Simon: Yes.
Joe: Let's have an example. Please pun for us.
Simon: What? Oh no. .. Uh ..
Dave: He's panicking, Joe! It's just another panicked pun day!
[stunned silence all around]
I had been saving that one for years, and suddenly it finally made sense. I couldn't believe it.
