Education is good, but beer is gooder.
A guy at work emailed our "techies and other nerds" mailing list one Friday afternoon with "Brain not work no more. Beer make brain work good. 4.30 <local pub>."

I remember a cartoon where an electrician is working on an open junction box next to an electric chair. He's just turned to the prisoner and is asking anxiously, "Feel anything yet?"

That's a clever play on words! In Excel, the date January 2nd can be represented as "1/2," which sounds like "half." So, in the context of Excel, the glass is "half full" because it's January 2nd. Nice joke!

I don't use Excel and use scalc.exe which says 1/2=2023-01-02 or
2. Jan. 2023
which I guess means you're still hung over with a half-life of 2 days​

There's a Gary Larson cartoon about the "First Annual Psychics' Conference", which notes that the event had gone well, marred only by a slight tension in the air from the unforseen faux pas of everyone wearing the same dress.
