Hey, Oprah's rich, right? So if you are pushing a get-rich-quick scam, mentioning the name of a popular rich person is proof that people will get rich with your bullshit, right?
The great thing about these off-topic spams is it lets us blather on off topic, secure in the knowledge that we aren't effing it up for some actually valid or valuable conversation.
And for those who just can't take a joke without an indicative icon: :-)

You had some interesting equipment there.
Seriously, if you are going to make jokes in your posts, you should add "[COFFEE WARNING]" to the subject line so that people know to put their cup down before reading. That's how it works on the internets.

God, suddenly everybody gets to set the rules for the Internet.
Seriously, if you're going to be namby-pamby about having every little joke explained to you, ESPECIALLY in a thread that is nothing but invitations for jokes in the first place, then you need to get a life.
Wasn't "My keyboard" some sort of humor on your part? If not, it was a singularly obscure and pointless post.
You will get no such warnings from me. That's how it works on the "internets".

Why "[COFFEE WARNING]"? I've never, ever, ever, ever seen that in a subject line. From whence does that idea come?
Did you miss the part where I said in my first post on this thread that I was joking? I don't know how you did; I made a point of putting in there just so people like you wouldn't whine that I was failing to warn them that humor was impending. I guess I wasted my effort.
You people really, really need to lighten up, and maybe even develop a sense of humor of your own. Or maybe light up the other brain cell so you don't need to be told when something is meant as satire or humor.
-- Lew Just in case you were wondering, I am not joking in this post.

If you seriously think the above is an attempt to "set the rules," you need to grow a sense of humor.

You are wrong.
The guy did say he was being serious. ("Seriously, ...") I guess my powers of mind reading are weaker than yours.
I point out that Jussi is not the only poster to whine about lack of humor warnings. If the other poster hadn't been so all-fired serious then I might have been more skeptical of Jussi.

I don't think so.

Countless stand-up comedians begin jokes that way.

It doesn't take psychic powers to see the patently obvious, just a working sense of humor. Especially, as you said, in a thread that is nothing but an invitation for jokes in the first place.

Now you are the one taking me seriously. "Mind-reading"? Come on.
