THE SIF CREDID CARD STING
- this one's a classic!
I know a couple myself but unfortunately I can't repeat them, projects so outrageous that in comparison would make Cheech and Chong look like a Fortune 500 company.

So I struggled for awhile and finally unscrewed one
- nosy parker, what where you looking for? Didn't you have enough work to keep you busy? :D
Spiritually speaking, there is one thing and one thing only that sets this gig apart from others, its damn funny! When you were on the inside, the most absurd projects seemed to be rational, on the outside, you can look back and see that these were unbelievably incredibly bizarre things. Like giving a group of kids freerun in a playpark and saying, go make candy!
If anything this was the magic of those days, enormous childlike enthusiasm to grapple with projects that you were totally unqualified or eminently unsuitable for. No one needed to be smart, clever or qualified, you just had to "show up" and you were a member of the stupidest team on the block, but hey, that didn't count, there was a seat for everyone!
