RE: The nerdy jokes thread (bonus original title mode!)
My new girlfriend's car got a flat tyre as we were on our way to see my parents, so I called them up and said, "Sorry Mum, I'm going to be late, my girlfriend's got a puncture."
"Oh John!" she sighed. "I thought you had a real one this time."

A dyslexic friend of mine thought it might help his condition if he joined a poetry club.
He hasn't come out with any poems yet, but he's made some pretty nice jugs and vases and stuff.

This is not the bug report you are looking for. Well not really.
I needed a SVN GUI client that can actually remember ssh passwords since rapidsvn can't be bothered, found rabbitSVN, and decided to see if it was what I needed.
Appears that it doesn't work on exported stuff over sftp (i.e. the working copy is on a remote machine,) so I go to look to see if it's known about.
A search for
sftp
on their issue tracker returned nothing, so go searching and find this:No support for mounted locations
RabbitVCS currently does not support mounted locations, e.g. when you access a directory over SFTP, SMB, FTP or some other protocol with a custom URI scheme. For more information see Issue #158.
I click #158, get 404'd, so I file a report:

I thought just being at arm's length in Finland was a crime?
Could be worse (and on-topic for this thread):
Another example is that some people who work here take public transit and there is a bus stop outside of our office. To accommodate Casey [an employee with OCD, the aforementioned 'mental health' problem] we were directed by management to line up for the bus as male/female/male/female, etc.. so the line is orderly.

Debian discusses zoophilia
The package cowsay includes an ASCII representation of Zoophilia. The
file in question is /usr/share/cowsay/cows/sodomized-sheep.cowThis is a legal issue in many countries. Even if it's not well-defined
by law if ASCII representations of Zoophilia are legal or not, I'd
rather prefer not to take a chance being involved in a lawsuit when such
a file could be found on my computer.Please remove the file from the packages as soon as possible. Thank you.

@pie_flavor I've read enough Clients From Hell and TFTS stories with clients complaining about the text being all wrong and "in Latin or something"
Bingo.
They don't read the email beyond the subject line, see a link, click it, then complain it is in the wrong language.
Every, single, time.
Simple solution: make the text "this is not final text, for layout purposes only" instead of lorem ipsum
The downside is, the people complaining about the language - who are complaining mostly to be seen complaining a.k.a. giving input, not because they think there's anything wrong with the product - would switch to complaining about things that would actually disrupt the layout of the page. It's better to stick to Latin.
This started as a piece of corporate lore at Interplay Entertainment. It was well known that producers (a game industry position roughly equivalent to project manager) had to make a change to everything that was done. The assumption was that subconsciously they felt that if they didn't, they weren't adding value.
The artist working on the queen animations for Battle Chess was aware of this tendency, and came up with an innovative solution. He did the animations for the queen the way that he felt would be best, with one addition: he gave the queen a pet duck. He animated this duck through all of the queen's animations, had it flapping around the corners. He also took great care to make sure that it never overlapped the "actual" animation.
Eventually, it came time for the producer to review the animation set for the queen. The producer sat down and watched all of the animations. When they were done, he turned to the artist and said, "That looks great. Just one thing: get rid of the duck."
