This reminds me of...

#2 is almost certainly a fake, but I really hope #1 is a real sign somewhere!

My favorite is the sign shaped like a traffic stop sign that says "Do Not Read This Sign"  .. probably saw it in Mad Magazine or something.

Kind of like the weight lifter.  If he just picks that barbell right up over his head like nothin', well, big deal!!  Has to grunt 'n groan like he's bustin' his splean, make his face turn a bit red, then, Bingo!! He majestically hoists it!!!  Like the old gimmick where the circus strongman bends a bar, then his dumb blond assistant bends it back the way it should be before storing it in the container!!

I've had "a few minutes" a few times - like installing paint.NET on my laptop (2gig ram, core2 at... uh... 2GHz or so). Basically anything that does dotNET pre-JIT'ing at install time is going to take a while to complete after the files have been installed.

@f0dder - Thanks for explaining that. I've always wondered why some .NET apps seemed to take forever to install.

Now I know! :Thmbsup:
