You your side projects don't necessarily have to achieve an end product to be a useful exercise.
I often start side projects to explore coding styles, patterns and architecture and new technologies. Because my side projects are in my own time and under my complete control, and I have the freedom to pursue any avenue without fear of cocking up an existing code base or missing a deadline.
This is how I've explored the fusion between MVC, Razor and Angular. Or how I might practically implement an event source pattern. The actual projects are disposable, but I've learnt enough in the sandbox of a side project to be able to apply the concepts I've learnt on a professional project.
Occasionally a useful application comes out of the side of this activity. If I'm really lucky, one day I'll stumble onto a saleable product.

Cops: No clean getaway for twins who stole 180 bars of soap[^]
Soap? Really?
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

Ah, I see you have the machine that goes ping. This is my favorite. You see we lease it back from the company we sold it to and that way it comes under the monthly current budget and not the capital account.

For that you have to make soap, not steal it

They might have been making it, but then found that they needed another 180 bars at the last minute

Don't try to see the logic on that action... instead try to find out the truth... there is no logic

Cleanliness is (not) next to godliness!
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

You can give the tomato, the lettuce to the wife (on diet) and the bread to the cat (does not care)...
Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?

Not many cats would eat the bread,
give the bread to the dog, the bacon to the cat, (salad things to the wife)
get a cold beer from the fridge, (or a non frozen beer from the fridge if in Canada),
...and if feeling brave or already a few beers in, remind the missus to clean up when done eating.

I like to fry my bacon in olive oil. Anyone else? Will I be banished from the Lounge now?

I believe proper protocol is to fry bacon in bacon grease. 
There are two kinds of people in the world: those who can extrapolate from incomplete data.
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

I fry everything* in olive oil. It's both healthier and better for the flavour -- I can't abide stuff fried in sunflower or rapeseed oil, any more; it's just nasty grease.
The missus uses peanut oil for flame-and-smoke Chinese cooking, sometimes, but that's got hardly any flavour at all
* Everything that I fry, that is.

I use peanut oil for chinese food as well - mostly because it has very little flavour!
I can't see olives working well in a sweet and sour ...

Might be kinda icky, because you don't get that sudden burst of intense heat, when you first drop them in the fryer, so the flour might soak some oil up.
You can't really taste olive oil when you fry with it, though; it's a delicate hint, compared to the mouthful of foul-tasting grease you get from the cheaper oils.

Yechh!
Never touch 'em!
I eat proper chips, not them ropy, spindly things, and they fry up great in olive oil. The only thing better for chips is lard, which works best at lower than its highest temperature.

That would be the Japanese name for the kind of thing the missus fries, in peanut oil. Asian food is based on higher temperatures because they had anthracite, whereas we used to cook chips with peat, in the UK (or "UK-to-be", at the time)
Don't believe the hype about oil temperatures; they all get bluddy hot, so there's not a huge difference -- certainly not enough to make chips that are less than perfect.
Remember that a lot of the most-publicised stuff about petty little things like this was invented by morons like Jamie Oliver and Heston Blumenthal.
