Hmm, a bit difficult to enter, but I would love to have Darklands so I'll do my best. BTW, +1 for the awesome giveaway.

I'll chose #3 (even though I'm not Vagabond, I think poop is involved).

Here it goes:

Three guys are applying for a job. The Chairman of the company says that he can only hire one of them so he will ask a question and whoever gives the best answer will keep the job.

The chairman asks: "What's the fastest thing you know in this universe."
The first guy replies: "The fastest thing is light. Because with the flip of a switch, you turn on the light of a room instantly."
The second guy replies: "The fastest thing is the speed of thought, in an instant, you can have an idea and you can't even measure how fast it was."
The third guy says: "The fastest thing is diarrhea."
The chairman asks the 3rd guy: "Are you sure? Why do you say that?"
The third guy answers: "The other day I had a diarrhea so bad that I shit my pants before I could even think or turn on the light of the bathroom."

PS: Well, you can replace the guys by your favorite nationality and/or names.

KOCollins: ... Now, if someone, lets just put out the name Thespian*, for instance, decided to add another oversized entry, then I wouldn't count it, though it may be very fascinating, for a pointy-eared half-breed! ;-p
LOL. It's very tempting, but the truth is I'm exhausted after the last one. :D

CONTEST NOW CLOSED. NO MORE ENTRIES, NO MORE EDITS,PLEASE!
Due to unforeseen internet malfunctions on my end (Agh! Again!) I have decided to end the contest a wee bit early just in case Internet goes on me. So I will now spend the next while in deep concentration and inform you of the winners post haste (provided the net lets me!). If by chance I don't announce the winners in a bit, know that I do have a workaround if necessary and will use that by about this time tomorrow. Entrants: time to cross your fingers and hope I'm drunk enough to like yours! ;P (kidding)

Don't worry I'm still here! It takes time to decide when the quality is so high! Almost done though. :D

@KOCollins
I very much thank you for your generosity and this unexpected gift, but more so for appreciating the German sense of... meticulousness.

Congrats to all winners, it was a tough competition with all the great and enjoyable entries.


And though the contest is over, here's a little geek joke from the Win XP era.

THE HARD DRIVE BACK UP
The company secretary was having some problems with Windows XP, so she IM’d the IT staff for help.
Being the efficient IT staff that they were, they replied right away:
- "We'll send someone over as soon as we're done setting up a new computer in the CEO’s office, shouldn't take long. Would you, please, back up your hard drive in the meantime?"
She promptly responded:
- “Back up my hard drive? Glad to, but... how do I put it in reverse?!”

Sure, will do! Thank you very much for the compliment and the game. :)

Live long and prosper, my friend. ;)

Also, congrats to the other winners and thanks to all of you for sharing your stories and jokes. I really enjoyed reading them. :)
