I'd bet that you're currently bloated like a water ballon on a hot summer's day.

That analogy doesn't even make sense.  Why would a water balloon be especially bloated on a hot summer's day? For your sake, I hope there wasn't too much logic testing on your LSAT.

Incidentally, some good replies from The Daily WTF...

Here's what the code maybe should look like:
Quote
if ( you.understand(this) ) { you.need("a girlfriend") }

And here's just a good response:
Quote

if (you == write_ads_like.this) {

    get.a.programming.book;

}

No, the original code works in C.  You can have a struct with a 'this' member.  Consequently, 'you' and 'this' are the same type.  But the code it executes as a result of the condition is dead code (e.g. the statement '5;' is dead code).

Code: [Select]
struct lame {
  int this;
};

struct lame3 {
  int girlfriend;
}

struct lame2 {
  struct lame3 a;
};

int you;
struct lame understand;
struct lame2 get;

if ( you == understand.this ) {  /* Legal */
  get.a.girlfriend; /* Dead code - does nothing */
}

I know this is probably over analyzing an ad...

Well, it *could* be valid code, but it still makes absolutely no sense. :P

No... it should be:

<html>
<body>
<h1>
STFU
</h1>
</body>
</html>
