DicedT!
These are probably my two favorite bits:
Quote
Q: My neighbors tell me that as long as the Empire fails to provide services, they are not obligated to provide taxes. What should I tell them?
A: Remind them that the Imperial Revenue Service (IRS) Death Star remains operational, and always will.
Q: Can I appeal my furlough?
A: Imperial workers who wish to dispute their furloughs will be scheduled for a personal counseling session with Lord Vader, who is eager to meet with unhappy employees.
A couple of government workers thanked me for making them smile. Sounded like they could use a laugh.

If I lose any more faith in humanity, it will likely trigger some kind of disappointment singularity that will destroy the universe.
If you think Star War fans have no sense of humor, try writing a piece on Star Trek.

Uh.. careful there Michael. At least one of the Grand Poobahs here dreams nightly of being one of the doomed heroes of Wolf 359. :D
He's not the only one. ;)
Is that before or after he actually dates a girl?
Doesn't matter. I know from personal experience that having a woman doesn't make nerd rage go away. :P
At best having a woman replaces nerd rage with a different rage.
