Did you have a clown for breakfast? Are you the Joker? Do you have green hair?
Edit: I forgot:
Quote: Two cannibals are eating a clown. One says to the other: "Does this taste funny to you?"
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats.
His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

Nah, I'd never eat a clown...
They taste funny!

My standard answer to all question where you are expected to give only the one and only right answer:
Don't you like women/children/dogs/cats/whatever?
Not really, but you can get everything down with generous amounts of ketchup.

Was there for few days and I really liked it.
I was sitting at a cafe and a guy on next table started talking to me. I don't know why people say small talks to strangers is not a common thing. I found them to be nice and friendly.
If I really have to nitpick, there was a lack of train route maps around platform.

Where is the problem? The country is so small that you already are in Belgium when you walk to the end of the platform.

Talking to strangers is a common thing to do here. We're not shy.
It may not be very common in the capital, where you find more people from other countries; but outside the capital, talking to strangers is a normal thing. It's even "normal" to talk to foreigners in English, even if they speak Dutch and our English isn't adequate.
Try that in a shop in another country, and they'll be looking around to see if you are distracting them while someone is robbing the place

I think you have proved that more than once... even when the other part didn't want to be talked

Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

And did you still have your wallet after the conversation was done

Yes, both his and mine.

As a NYC* kid, I didn't realize that people talking to strangers is unusual. I grew up where, on line (=cued) in a supermarket, the person ahead (or behind) might tell you their life story.
Going to the "friendly" midwest, for example, and they're all clam-shell closed. Not only about conversing with strangers, but as I found out, if you didn't to to school with them or are a "church friend", they really didn't want to have anything to do with you. A smile. A "Hi, how ya' doin'", but they really hope you'll not say anything and don't make eye contact.
I also missed the street vendors in NYC. So - I thought I couldn't wait to leave (way back then) until I realized I couldn't wait to move back.
* NYC - actually, all five boroughs (=counties, parishes, etc.), not just Manhattan.

Hi All,
Thought I would share the JOY! One the growing pile of tasks I have I intended to spend the day designing a test rig for one of products. It has to IP routers in it which need to be pinged to show they are there and answering. First spin, two laptops running PuTTy & Oscilloscope having to read values. Quick C# app to interface to the scope via USB, set up, read, change settings, read again. Spend about 10 Mins thinking & hunting through draws to find a RiPi 3 and fiddle with Python and sorted. I like days like this...

Nice.
Not sure about this bit though:

Python, I am far from an expert, however you seem to be able to do a couple things with ease. It's like C++ I get the feeling that it does more than I am aware of.
