I am still laughing at A. Clay Stevenson's antimatter reply. Just can't seem to stop chuckling.

Antimatter is the reverse of matter, so it will reverse readings in top.

Okay, I found A Clay's reply to in the linked thread extremely funny.

I have been known to lack a sense of humor much of the time and possess a twisted one at times.

Anyone who wants to link in a thread they find funny gets two points. One per customer.

If this is a stupid thread, ignore it it will go away.

I heard a report that laughing is good for your health.

Hi Steven,

Although it is not a "one-liner", this classic response from our A. Clay makes me laugh everytime I see it. I keep a link to this thread for the times when I really need a good laugh. We can all relate to how infuriating consultants and vendors can be at times. Read this thread to see how a truly diplomatic "Warm 'n Fuzzy" guy deals with them.

Hi Steven,

This is probably a lot like lauging at my own jokes, but I sure amused myself with my response in your "hobbies" thread:

The author of this thread did take offense at first to my comment....

I told him to hire a secretary to sort through files while he practiced "awk"

he thought I mean he was unskilled but what I meant was that he should awk (look at) his secretary....
yeah... it was a little off... but.... i was in a mood.

Darn it.... Mary Rice beat me to that thread. I had to go and hunt it up again. That has got to be one of the ITRC Forums classics. I absolutely love Clay's and Jim Turners responses in their.

I too have attempted humor here once as well. Judging from the response (or lack thereof), I guess it went over like a lead balloon ...

Pete: Apparently my entry in the hobbies thread was too dry....

John M.: Regarding the same thread, do I take it that you enjoy obeying your dog while your wife goes to the ballet?

A. Clay's KW vs KVA thread is a classic. But the funniest short but operative insulting posting I've ever seen was on the old Firewalls mailing list in response to a plaintive "How do I get off this list???!!!" posting:

I have to say, I keep the Sys. Admin. Humor link around and read it from time to time, some really great stuff there.

After reading through Clay's disseration on the difference between KVAs and KWs, I realized I am amongst very smart people (and have something in common: I am academically qualified as a nuclear engineer and have been know to practice the profession in my previous life...)
