Besides being a waste of space, how about just the link next time. I mean
come on....


Apparently, somebody does't understand the concept of Shaggy Dog
story.

"A shaggy dog story derives its humor from the fact that the
joke-teller held the attention of the listeners for a long time (such
jokes can take five minutes or more to tell) for no reason at all, as
the story ends with a meaningless anticlimax."

Sorry if you feel that you got pwned.

I did warn you - it's right in the title of the thread.



You think I wasted time reading it? I looked for the link (at the bottom!).
Then went to the link and found the exact same text. Seems like you're the
one who wasted a lot of time.
