Clean Jokes

Besides, the obvious pun, I think I see a secondary joke in the post above:

That text uses about 38 characters, if you include spaces, punctuation and the new-line. Under a standard ASCII or UTF-8 encoding scheme, that means the file would take 38 bytes.

Rendered as a full-colour image as above, that becomes;:
700px ✕ 706px ✕ 3 colour channels (RGB) = 1,482,600 bytes.

That would be almost forty thousand times more data to download, for no increase in meaningful content.

However, to avoid such a waste of bandwidth, the image has then been through a computationally-intensive lossy compression algorithm (at 93% quality) to reduce the file size down to 'only' 41,458 bytes.

(To be fair, I have been guilty of such absurdities on occasion, too. When else in history has a potential efficiency saving of a thousand times been considered too little to bother with?)

You need to get out more.

Do you mean to imply that the operation of computers, and the efficiency thereof, holds no bearing on reality?

Not a joke, but worthwhile

"Some regard private enterprise as if it were a predatory tiger to be shot. Others look upon it as a cow that they can milk. Only a handful see it for what it really is--the strong horse that pulls the whole cart."

A strong horse, certainly - but a poorly-trained one that kicks, shies, bites, bolts and tries to throw-off her harness at every opportunity.

Meanwhile, the driver is busy blaming the passengers (and the other road users, and the timbers of the cart itself) for the fact that the horse is heading in the wrong direction!

That's a good way of putting it, methinks that you're as good at tongue in cheek as I am.

I had to translate, but I think it works. Old one:

Daddy is farting,
the kids are shaking,
so this is the way of cheap familiy fun-making...

Education is indeed important. The omission of a single comma could be enough to have you............
"helping your uncle Jack, off his horse." Or, "helping your uncle jack off his horse."
