best joke I have heard all week.

The orange dot on the icon of new posts hid the joke icon, so I took this seriously at first and you got me worried when reading the first lines. 
Anyway, nice joke ! Another one on the same line:
Two drunkards met in the morning after a party. One of them is all bandaged and looks really bad.
- What happened? - the first guy asks.
- Yesterday, when you left, I was walking home when suddenly, a horse jumped over me out of nowhere and broke my spine. I tried to get up and all of a sudden a train hit me. I tried to get up again - and there's a f***ing rocket flying straight at me.
- No way this happened !
- If you don't believe me, ask the carousel's owner.

Our analysis has not produced any answers. In fact, it has raised several new questions. Although we are as confused as ever, we believe that we are confused on a higher level, about more important things.

It is very important to be confused about the correct things, so that when you become less confused, you haven't wasted your time.

Take a look at this very cool SandSara random sand sketcher.

I always like innovative ideas. This is simple but actually quite cool that someone thought of making this in this way.
*This is an indiegogo fundraiser but I'm not affiliated with it in any way.
You can watch the youtube video if you don't want to go to indiegogo.

Like I said, I just really like the creative innovative idea captured by the thing.

Hello Friend,
Will it be possible to reach you to your email? Our team needs good quality consulting for reviewing the OOAD/design patterns we use. We are a little team & I'm a long-time CP user. I'll introduce myself once you connect through email. The work involves just a few hours per week. You'll be free to choose your timing. Your articles & blogs are brilliant. Very much suited to our needs. Just wanted to check. Kindly let me know if you would be interested.
Been trying to reach you, but Couldn't figure-out your email.

No, you cannot have access to a members email - that is personal information and thus covered by data protection / GDPR.
You can however send a "private email" to a user via the "Email" link at the bottom of a forum message (unless the member has blocked it - raddevus hasn't) which allows you to send your email address to a users registered email address together with a message.
That doesn't mean the email will be received - some use an "auto delete" email for login - or that the user will reply to you.
Only if the user chooses to reply directly will you get his email address.

Oh thanks for your reply OriginalGriff.
Not just on CP, even on Raddevus's websites and blogs, email is cleanly sealed. So I couldn't write him a personal message.
Let me see if he's able to reply to my message here.
Thanks for your intervention.

A married man left work early on Friday and went out for a few drinks with his buddies and ended up partying with them all weekend and spent his entire pay check.
When he finally returned home on Sunday his wife was furious and berated him excessively. After a couple of hours of nagging and scolding she asked him "How would you like it if you didn't see me for a couple of days?!?"
"That would suit me just fine!!" the man said.
Well.....Monday went by, and the man didn't see his wife.
Tuesday went by with the same result.
Wednesday came and went and the man still hadn't seen his wife.
Thursday, the swelling went down a bit and he could see her a little, just out of the corner of his left eye.

You're telling that as a joke, but I know someone who pretty much did just that.
He went out for the weekend with his mates, a yearly trip they had.
In the evening they got pretty drunk and one of the guys went home.
He got a taxi, but instead of going back to the hotel he went back home and paid over €200 on taxi fare.
His wife was furious, the next day she came to get his stuff from the hotel and to tell his friends he wouldn't be coming back that weekend

She should feel very special! His drunken state rated (returning to) her more highly than his mates!

A few threads down, I reported finding a strange entry in my Startup folder after a clean install of Windows 10. The startup folder had an entry named simply "Program" with no icon and no publisher. Weird - right? A Google search turned up numerous cases of people with the same problem, but no one seemed to have the answer.
Well, after some sweat and tears, I got to the bottom of it: During the clean install I added one of my favorite apps. The installer for this app added an executable that is supposed to load and run at every start. I try to limit unnecessary startups that do nothing for me, so I deleted the executable. The app works fine without it. Therein lies the problem: The app installer adds a registry entry to run the executable at every startup. Since the target executable was gone, Windows added a do-nothing, empty entry called "Program" in the startup folder every time the machine started up.
The solution: I ran Piriform's CCleaner and let it do a registry scan. It listed all the registry entries that were problematical, including those entries that were missing their targets. Instructed Ccleaner to fix the registry and it deleted the entry that was causing the ghostly "Program" entry in my startup folder. QED!
So: If you ever come across an entry named "Program" in your startup folder, you may simply have a registry entry for which the target is gone. If you don't want the missing target anyway, you can use Ccleaner to fix the registry for you.![Java | [Coffee]](https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/coffee.gif)
As always: Don't mess with the registry unless you know what you're doing and know how to recover from disasters.

I have used both these tools to solve problems like this. I have no preference, there is usually more than one way to skin a cat.
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

Actually, I think a thread on different ways to skin a cat might end up being censored.

My biggest laugh of the week so far is in the article Dereference operator - Wikipedia[^]
The See also section at the bottom has one item: Segmentation fault.
Dang! My '58 Renault Dauphine has another flat tire.

I have heard people scream with laughter from someone reading out from the phone book "Alphabetizing rules applied".
If you just read it out loud in the "right" way, almost any text can be funny. Even in printed form, lots of text (certainly from scientific reports and the like), when taken out of context and presened as a free-standing statement, may appear ridicolous. In my student days, we sometimes used that as party game: You read out a small excerpt that sounds gibberish in isolation, and make people guess the context (and explain how it makes sense).
