Joke of the day :-)
A girl asks her boyfriend to come over Friday night and have dinner with her parents. This being a big event, the girl tells her boyfriend that after dinner, she would like to go out and “do it” for the first time.
Well, the boy is ecstatic, but he has never done it before, so he takes a trip to the pharmacist to get some protection. The pharmacist helps the boy for about an hour. He tells the boy everything there is to know about protection and doing it.
At the register, the pharmacist asks the boy how many he’d like to buy; a 3-pack, a 10-pack, or a family pack. The boy insists on the family pack because he says he expects to be “pretty busy.”
That night, the boy shows up at the girl’s parent’s house and meets his girlfriend at the door “Oh I’m so excited for you to meet my parents, come on in.” The boy goes inside and is taken to the dinner table where the girl’s parents are seated.
The boy quickly offers to say grace and bows his head. A minute passes, and the boy still deep in prayer with his head down.
Ten minutes pass and still no movement from the boy.
Finally, after 20 minutes with his head down, the girlfriend leans over and whispers to her boyfriend, “I had no idea you were so religious.”
The boy turns and whispers back, “I had no idea your father was a pharmacist.” -
I would like that as an epitaph !
Well not yet ready to see the big almighty (if he's there !) but I like to have this epitaph:

VS Code Generator Shim
The VS Code Generator Shim is a generic custom tool for Visual Studio .NET 2002 and 2003 that enables code generators to be written easily and quickly in just about any .NET language and using familiar .NET Framework constructs. A standard custom tool designed for Visual Studio must use COM interoperability (when written in managed code) and register with the IDE to be fully operational, but the shim help eliminates these requirements entirely. You only need to create a class and expose a single method to write a code generator now. What's more, the code generator can be completely idependent of Visual Studio releases.
