what in the hell body part even is that. a knee? that's one janky-ass knee? I am like boggled here.
Read a bit further...
So yes, apparently other people also think the only thing it could be is a knee. I am still not convinced.
Well, it could be a wing, but even I think that's unlikely...

@loopback0 no. Ukuleles are a crime against humanity.
I can't listen to this at work, but assuming this is the one I'm thinking of, this may change your mind: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z26BvHOD_sg
I was thinking that, as well.
But you know a bunch of random people with ukulele will have far more dissonance.

Ok, but that guy was a pro. Seeing how an Ukulele barely holds its tuning for a couple of days I don't see how a bunch of random visitors is going to provide for soothing background music.

No but I can see how it'd be entertaining to a bunch of random drunk people.

@Polygeekery I really doubt that that's the worst possible bar. I remember the Flintstones-themed bar that used to be at the hotel that is now the Wyndham Garden Ann Arbor. With bonus chlorine leak smell due to the pool in the hotel atrium!
But we're talking 15 years ago. They might've improved…
I would much prefer a Flintstones themed bar with chlorine smell compared to a high-end dive bar with a selection of guitars that any asshole can borrow and play and where everyone is given a ukulele when they enter.
Ukuleles man! I would prefer to drink a glass of bleach than go to a bar that gives everyone a ukulele.
How about one where everyone is given a vuvuzuela?
Evil Ideas thread is
Or Bad Ideas. I'm not sure which is more appropriate.

Ukuleles.
And serendipity. But mainly ukuleles...
- Playing a ukulele in an open office
For the last year or so, my best friend has been working in a large open office with maybe 30 or 40 other people. This brings with it the expected annoyances of having to overhear other conversations, lack of privacy, and so forth, but it has also brought a very unexpected and unwanted surprise: a woman who often plays a ukulele in the middle of the workday.
When my friend told me this, I was dumbfounded that anyone, anywhere, could think that playing a musical instrument regularly in an open-office floor plan was appropriate. Apparently, however, not only does this woman play her ukulele frequently, but a few of her cubicle neighbors encourage it. Because it’s been encouraged by a handful of employees, my friend has been reluctant to speak up and complain, but I can’t help but think that there are several dozen other employees being forced to hear it who must hate it as much as my friend does.
I know the correct answer in this specific situation is that my friend should talk to this woman and explain that her ukulele-playing is distracting. Would you, however, like to offer a blanket ruling on the appropriateness of any regular musical-instrument-playing at all in an open-floor-plan office, even when it’s been solicited by a few people? I feel like this is the sort of thing that’s beyond the pale unless it’s done with the express consent of all hearers, but maybe I’m being too harsh about this?
Nope, you’re not being too harsh. Open offices are difficult enough with just the normal range of office sounds — phone calls, work discussions, etc. — and consideration of other people is particularly important in that environment. It’s really not cool to add a loud, entirely optional, potentially very intrusive noise into the mix without the explicit consent of everyone around. And if it’s happening on a regular basis, I’d modify that to the explicit, enthusiastic consent of everyone around.

That does it.

@DogsB I have posted that before and it must have been a real frenzy:
Amputated the leg in under 21⁄2 minutes (the patient died afterwards [...]). He amputated in addition the fingers of his young assistant (who died afterwards [...]). He also slashed through the coat tails of a distinguished surgical spectator, who was so terrified that the knife had pierced his vitals he dropped dead from fright.

Is that a reference to this YouTube playlist (or the album it rips off of)?

I don't know. But I like this YouTube comment on the playlist:
"wow this is terrible but surprisingly groovy"

"Always remember where you came from"

The reader must also bear in mind that this was prior to good anesthetics (or any anesthetic, really), so speed was critical to the operation. The patient was typically just given a rag to bite down on and then the surgeon went to work hacking with them fully conscious. If the surgery wasn't quick, the patient could die of shock before they even left the operating room.
It was also prior to good antibiotics, so the operation was finished by searing the wound with a red-hot iron to cauterize it and prevent it bleeding. Sepsis was an extremely common outcome.

@El_Heffe How to not get any leniency from the officer. Though I suspect at that point he wasn't due any anyway.
