RE: Funny Story...
This reminds me of the story of the two hedgehogs standing in front of a vending machine.
One was about to buy some Junior Mints when the other one stopped him.
"Don't buy those. The machine will eat your quarters. Get the sunflower seeds instead."
"You're just saying that because there's only one box of Junior Mints left."
"No, I'm trying to save you some money. Also, sunflower seeds are better for you."
"Right."
The first hedgehog inserted his quarters and chose the Junior Mints. The machine correctly pushed the box forward and made them available for retrieval. He opened the box and began munching on the Junior Mints.
"See? No problem."
The second hedgehog pulled out a gun and shot him in the face.
