I should probably get banned for this.....
But here it goes....
A couple lived near the ocean and used to walk the beach a lot.
One summer they noticed a girl who was at the beach pretty much every
day. She wasn't unusual, nor was the travel bag she carried, except for
one thing; she would approach people who were sitting on the beach,
glance around furtively, then speak to them.
Generally the people would respond negatively and she would wander off,
but occasionally someone would nod and there would be a quick
exchange of money and something she carried in her bag. The couple
assumed she was selling drugs, and debated calling the cops, but since
they didn't know for sure they just continued to watch her.
After a couple of weeks the wife said, "Honey, have you ever noticed that
she only goes up to people with boom boxes and other electronic
devices?" He hadn't, and said so. Then she said, "Tomorrow I want you to
get a towel and our big radio and go lie out on the beach. Then we can
find out what she's really doing."
Well, the plan went off without a hitch and the wife was almost hopping up
and down with anticipation when she saw the girl talk to her husband and
then leave. The man walked up the beach and met his wife at the road.
Well, Is she selling drugs?" she asked excitedly.
"No, she's not," he said, enjoying this probably more than he should have.
"Well, What is it, then? What does she do?" his wife fairly shrieked.
The man grinned and said, "She's a battery salesperson."
"Batteries?" cried the wife.
"Yes," he replied. "She sells C cells by the sea shore."

Oh my. But I like it, in a "I'm embarassed to admit this" type of way.
And with that disclaimer I thought you were going to propose marriage to Ed or something.

That isn't worth the server space it's stored on.

Yes. The space used could instead be used to store a program readme file. Those few kilobytes sure are necessary. Only joking.

After the build-up from your subject, I was expecting something a bit risque or off-color.
Too bad.
