Blooper of the Week
(You can suggest changes to this post.)
Every week at work during our Friday staff meeting we have an agenda item titled "Blooper of the Week". This item is to acknowledge the most amusing blooper of that week, and involves the handover of a large black dunce-hat.
The blooper this week must go to our CEO. After finally clinching a major deal, John spent five hours at the pub, and proceeded to celebrate by throwing food from the 8th floor balcony at passers-by. Apparently he managed to hit (or almost hit) a few of the cleaning staff, and the police have been called by the car-park guard (who thinks there are 'kids on the roof causing trouble').

written in the code nearby the actual bug, and has decided
to celebrate this with me in his own special way. I hope to
pass the bug on when somebody else becomes bug-boy.
