I think I've got the hang of b3ta now...
I read that "Motivation is the art of getting people to do what you want them to do because they want to do it", and also "What counts is not necessarily the size of the dog in the fight - it's the size of the fight in the dog".

And those are my examples of "Ike Wit".

(Do I pass the audition?)

Good christ
Do you get hung up by the underpants a lot?

I have no underpants. Gnomes stole them.
"Ike" of course, being the nickname of General Dwight D. Eisenhower, to whom those quips are attributed.

You Fail..
Big style.

While the puns were more than acceptable, your timing is not.

It's traditional not to start the puns until late on Wednesday while we wait for a new QOTW. On Thursday puns are pretty much compulsory.

Cheers

P.S. And I know that Apeloverage doesn't adhere to this rule but that's 'cos he's a twat.

Oh.
Didn't get the memo on that.

But I'll take that currant of faint praise, even though it's lodged within a slice of weak criticism. Being dinged, by such a venerable b3tan as Legless, is still acknowledgment of my existence.

Rest assured, I won't make that mistake again. Do I get any consolation points from the Word Police, for good spelling, punctuation, and grammar?

I did have a better story, a true tale of constructive dismissal (so technically, involuntary quitting). But it's just too painful. I suppose I've always tried to use laughter to hide the tears.
