Once a group of 50 people was attending a seminar.
Suddenly the speaker stopped and started giving each one a balloon.
Each one was asked to write his/her name on it using a marker pen.
Then all the balloons were collected and put in another room.
Now these delegates were let in that room and asked to find the balloon which had their name written, within 5 minutes.
Everyone was frantically searching for their name, colliding with eachother, pushing around others and there was utter chaos.
At the end of 5 minutes no one could find their own balloon.
Now each one was asked to randomaly collect a balloon and give it to the the person whose name was written on it.
Within minutes everyone had their own balloon.
The speaker began-- Exactly this is happening in our lives. Everyone is frantically looking for happiness all around, not knowing where it is.
Our happiness lies in the happiness of other people. Give them their happiness, you will get your own happiness. And this is the purpose of human life.

That's abuse. He is not being abusive or Spamming.
Besides the reply's to these sort of threads are one of the best things about the Lounge, don't deny us that.

Also, it's not as if the rest of the content on the Lounge is of a highly intellectual nature.

Exactly. It's better than the "I drink lots of gin" posts.

Yeah, but DEFINITELY worse than the Bacon posts - everything is worse than bacon!

This is not SO, this is Codeproject. There are rules.

There is no rule that says you can vote to remove someone for posting something you don't find interesting.

Unfortunately, there is also no rule which says you can't.

Nagy hasn't found his balloon.

Faarrrkkkk the balloons! I've got a PIN!

I'm honestly not sure why this is worse (apart from the formatting fail) from 'Griff, look at this [story about sheep]' or 'What I had for lunch today' or CCC.

Tis the formatting, it sucketh like a Hilton; hotel or heiress.

How about people with the same names? Would handwriting matches be used to absolutely verify that they got their original balloons back?
|
|
|
|

They Could give them different colour balloons.
Or they could make them blow up there own balloons, then DNA profiling could be used on the residue saliva.

You will get a ban from attending the seminars.

This is so much funnier if you remove the 'h's.

It would be even funnier if he applied
Euro-English (5th year version):
The European Commission has just announced an agreement whereby English will be the official language of the EU rather than German which was the other possibility.
As part of the negotiations, Her Majesty's Government conceded that English spelling had some room for improvement and has accepted a five year phase-in plan that would be known as "Euro-English".
In the first year, "s" will replace the soft "c". Sertainly, this will make the sivil servants jump with joy. The hard "c" will be dropped in favour of the "k". This should klear up konfusion and keyboards kan have 1 less letter.
There will be growing publik enthusiasm in the sekond year, when the troublesome "ph" will be replaced with "f". This will make words like "fotograf" 20% shorter.
In the 3rd year, publik akseptanse of the new spelling kan be ekspekted to reach the stage where more komplikated changes are possible. Governments will enkorage the removal of double letters, which have always ben a deterent to akurate speling. Also, al wil agre that the horible mes of the silent "e"s in the language is disgraseful, and they should go away.
By the fourth year, peopl wil be reseptiv to steps such as replasing "th" with "z" and "w" with "v". During ze fifz year, ze unesesary "o" kan be dropd from vords kontaining "ou" and similar changes vud of kors be aplid to ozer kombinations of leters.
After zis fifz yer, ve vil hav a reli sensibl riten styl. Zer vil be no mor trubl or difikultis and evrivun vil find it ezi to understand ech ozer. Ze drem vil finali kum tru! And zen world!
