Insectoid just to be clear, I'm jesting here, you know I 'spect the skills' but don't be these guys...

A developer. walking down the sidewalk and sees his chum riding up on a shiny new bicycle.
"New bike, nice. Where did you get it?"

"Well, I was cutting through the park, just like I do everyday, and this gorgeous blonde rides up on her bicycle, brakes hard, drops the bike, strips down, spreads her arms right in front of me and whispers "Take anything you'd like"

The other guy, "Good choice, her clothes never would have fit you anyway."

Cheers
