Please take a moment to read the GQ rules and FAQs. In particular #2, which says in part:

> We tolerate some joking, but that is generally acceptable only after the question has been answered. _ **Please do not race to a thread to post that hilarious one-liner in response to the thread title** _, and don’t drive by just to drop in an anecdote that doesn’t answer the question. If you want to be funny while contributing to the thread, go for it.
