Al: Hey, we have a three day weekend coming up, got any plans?
Bill: Nah, I'm just going to stay home and laze off
Al: Where's Jack? I haven't seen much of him and it doesn't look like he's gotten much done.
Bill: Jack's hiding in the break room. He's been lazing off since he got here.

Someone who reads catalogs of equipment -- high performance car parts, electronics or whatever -- and suddenly thinks he knows everything. These people are easy to spot -- they spend a great deal of money "improving" their cars, stereos or whatever. What they say sounds like hyperbolic ad copy and they won't let go of their beliefs, no matter how often someone proves them wrong.
Adam: Oh great, Ed's on a rant. He bought some gadget he found in a hot rod magazine for his car and claims it's doubled the power and his fuel economy. I looked at the thing and it's junk, just like all the other "performance parts" he bought in the last month.
Eve: That's Ed, alright. A real "Catalog Engineer."

Opening your e-mail and finding dozens of "update" messages from Facebook, each with a link to a comment or reply to a post made on someone else's facebook page. This can be caused by a Facebook Tagfest.
Oh man, what a mess! My my e-mail got Face-Blitzed! There were 43 messages, all of them were notices from Facebook telling me someone posted a comment on someone elses wall!

In "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy," the ultra-computer, "Deep Thought," is asked to give "the meaning of Life, The Universe and Everything." After a very long time calculating, Deep Thought declares the answer is "Forty-Two," which mystifies everyone.
Douglas Adams, the author of the "Hitchhiker" series, was familiar with computer programming. The symbol for a "wild card" -- a value that can be whatever the programmer desires and/or what the program needs to run -- is the "asterisk," which is this symbol * , sometimes called the "star" symbol."
In the American Standard Code for Instructional Interchange, or "ASCII," the "asterisk" is symbol number "42." Thus, "42" became a programmers' inside joke meaning "whatever you want it to be." Deep Thought could have said given its answer as, "anything" or "whatever you want it to be," but being a computer, it gave the ASCII code number, instead.

"I have an answer," Deep Thought said, "though I don't think you're going to like it."
"What is it?" asked the mice?
"The answer is....is...is...Forty-Two!"
Vroomfondle asked, "Is that it? What is THAT supposed to mean?"
Programmer 1: I'm going out for a burger, you want something?
Programmer 2: Sure.
Programmer 1: Okay, what do you want.
Programmer 2: Oh, I'm not sure. Get me Forty-Two.

I found my guitar after the flood, but it was so warped it was FUBU.
The mechanic said that running my car with no oil ruined the engine; he told me it's now FUBU.

What happens when someone says something "serious," but it's so off-base, erroneous, wrong or goofy that people laugh at it anyway.
A. Did you hear Trump saying he knows more than the Doctors and the World Health Organization about the COVID-19 epidemic?
B. Yeah, I had to laugh at him. Accidental Humor at its finest.
Jill: Did you hear Candy going on about Right To Life being a "Christian Duty?"
Kathy: Yeah. Now she's pregnant and begging for an abortion.
Jill: Talk about "Accidental Humor..."
