My most gullible momentSomeone once told me that gullible wasn't in the dictionary and I went, "yeah yeah ha ha" but when they were gone that didn't stop me checking. What was YOUR most gullible moment? Zero points for buying an icon on b3ta.

ParityI think i've posted this before but I cant remember anything before last tuesday.
Working in IT, we came up with the modern equivalent of the long stand, tartan paint, bucket of steam etc. We sent our junior helpdesk guy from Sheffield on the train, to Manchester where our stores are. We told him to pick up a box of parity bits.
He came back about 5 hours later having lugged a considerably large box of what appeared to be co-ax connectors, (god bless the storeman for knowing exactly what we were up to) with 'Parity Bits' written on the side. The box looked very heavy and was obviously a complete twat to lug about. My manager Pete opened the box, and looked at our little junior with furious anger - "These parity bits are even! I wanted odd!"

I love parity bit jokesAn ASCII character walks into a bar and orders three double-vodkas. Which he downs in quick succession.
"What's your trouble, son?" asks the bartender.
"Parity error", mutters the character.
"Ah, I thought you looked a bit off."
