Haven't seen this one here before, but no guarantees I didn't miss it:
Rich Man/Poor Man
A man was driving a VW Beetle in Houston, and notices a Rolls Royce limo in front on him, so he pulls up next to the limo and motions for the owner to roll the window down.
"Nice car you got there," says the Texan. "Mine has a car phone...does yours?"
"Of course!" replied the limo owner, "and a fax."
"Yeah mine has a fax, too and a jacuzzi. How about yours"
"Yep, mine has a jacuzzi too."
"Well mine has a queen size water bed. Does yours have that?" says the Houstonian.
The limo owner gets huffy and rolls up the window, and has his driver take off very rudely. But he can’t stand being outclassed by a VW, so he immediately goes to a custom shop and gets a king size water bed installed. When he gets it back, he drives all over Houston looking for the guy in the VW so he can show him up.
He finally sees the VW parked on the side of the road, so he drives up next to it and honks the horn. When the guy doesn't roll down the window he gets out and walks up to the car and notices the windows are all steamed up, so he knocks on one to get the guy’s attention. A few seconds later the Texan opens it a crack.
"Now I've got a king size water bed in my limo!" the limo owner says.
The Texan replies, "You got me out of the shower just to tell me that?!!"

My bad. Used wrong search terms

The idea of a "car phone" and a "fax" in the joke itself should've told you right there it's been around for a while.

The linked version is much better too!

Submitted my first bug report ever to MS regarding Visual Studio last night (or this morning, depends how you look at it), and had it accepted[^]. I'd put an exclamation on the end of that last sentence, but yuck! Too much time lost! The joy of answering your own questions[^]! I guess graduation of a sorts...

The bad news is, MS don't fix bugs...

I think they get to a certain number of bugs then release a new version. LOAP

You mean they don't fix features!

They are only features when they appear in the manual!

It's not a bug, it's a feature!
If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.-John Q. Adams
You must accept one of two basic premises: Either we are alone in the universe, or we are not alone in the universe. And either way, the implications are staggering.-Wernher von Braun
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.-Albert Einstein

I submitted my first against Visual C++ 1.52 and I'm still waiting for a fix.

Awesome. Reflects the score when you click on it.

I think that @Chris-Maunder should have a contest where the winner gets a dozen Idaho Spud Bars[^]
What say ye?
Note: The Idaho Spud Bars are *really* inexpensive at the moment so, now's yer chance, Chris!

Thanks, I'm starving. And you send me to this page.

The Clif bars just don't cut it sometimes, do they?

I tend to hit these[^] pretty hard, and these[^] while on the bike.
And yeah, I'm sick of 'em!

I've used the Gu a lot when training for marathons, but I've tended to use Clif bars on the bike.Chris Maunder wrote: I'm sick of 'em!
Agreed. I was riding my first century, and couldn't eat any more of the things after the 4th.

I find cliff bars harder to get down when you're in a paceline, especially when you're in a pack that's going hard and so you have the danger of breathing in crumbs.

I can see that. I tend to ride solo, so haven't run into that problem.

I had some Idaho spuds recently and they weren't that great, so I don't get what all the fuss is about.
