@HardwareGeek I've had "the exam" 2x so far. 1st time was the 1 gallon of (whatever). 2nd time was 1/2 gal of (something else). That still describes the feeling pretty well!

@El_Heffe You know what annoys me? When someone posts something "funny", it gets a billion uplikes, but I obviously don't see the joke.

Explaining the joke:
Obviously (I hope), the joke plays off the annoyance many people feel at (stores especially) starting to celebrate one holiday before previous holidays are over.What makes it a joke is that Saul and David lived about 1000 years before the first Christmas (Saul died about 1012 BC), and about 2800 years before George Washington proclaimed the first national Thanksgiving holiday in 1789.
As for Saul throwing a spear at David, Saul was king of Israel. David was, among other things, a musician in service to the king to soothe his bad temper. Saul was jealous of David, because Saul had disobeyed God, and David had been anointed king in his place. Nevertheless, David remained loyal to Saul and never attempted to assume the throne during Saul's lifetime, despite numerous attempts on David's life by Saul.

@HardwareGeek Okay, now explain the joke I was actually responding to, about an Indian TV show or whatever.

Oh, oops! I think the joke there is a long list of people with long, tongue-twister Asian names (my guess is Thai or Cambodian, or something like that, but that's a guess), and one guy with a common Anglo name.

If the walking dead taught me anything it was that wearing the skin of your friends is a good way to avoid getting eaten by zombies.

It's hard to take The Walking Dead seriously after seeing this:

You've misinterpreted the statement. Foxes are highly adept at sewing together rabbit pelts to make fur coats. They are also quite keen on sensible disposal of the rest of those rabbits.

It's Thai, not Indian.

To explain the naming difference, probably the one guy is from a Christian family, and the rest of the cast are Buddhist or Hindu.

But then it would have said, "Me llamo 'Milk'."
Only if it was anal business Milk. Common street Milk doesn't have to do that.

Thai are usually Buddhists. But the guy's nose strongly suggests he's simply half American or something.

Seems like a good illustration for what’s involved in computer programming, especially for the who thinks you just type

@topspin When I was training for my 1st level tech support role in a call center, we had a similar demonstration on what kind of discussions might await us.
The trainer picked two volunteers, put them side by side but separated by a divider so they could hear but not see each other. One was playing the role of tech support, the other was a customer.
Now, the customer was supposed to "call" tech support and have him help write a letter while taking all instructions as literally as possible. The "customer" was provided with a piece of paper and a ballpen.The ballpen was completely disassembled, mind.
You can guess how this went down. It was quite hilarious for the rest of us

"pick up the pen"
"uh, which part?"
