But why paint a white line down a badger when it's got one already? This country isn't made of paint you know. -

Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave JohnsonComment

I've seen worse. Mouldy pizzas in the drawers, hardened snot on the keyboard, smelly office chairs, skidmarks on the bog seat. At least I could marinade a dead badger, stuff it with rosemary and chuck it on the barbecue.Originally posted by gingerjedi View PostIf you turned up at client site and were expected to clean a dead badger from the keyboard before you could use it would you?
Same difference.
