I was walking through the pouring rain yesterday when my buddy insisted we didn't need an umbrella because "water builds character." By the time we reached the diner, our shoes sounded like two wet accordions fighting over a sponge. Look on the bright side—my buddy now has so much character that the hostess seated us in the parking lot.

I went out for a relaxing round of golf on Saturday, and my pal promised to give me tips that would shave ten strokes off my score. After watching me slice four balls into the woods and two into a pond, my pal quietly closed the notebook. He finally told me the fastest way to shave ten strokes off my game was to stop playing after the fourteenth hole.

My coworker swore off coffee for a whole week to prove that natural energy and positive thinking are all a human body needs. By Tuesday at nine-thirty, my coworker was trying to badge into the office building using a buttered piece of toast. We agreed right then that positive thinking is great, but espresso is what keeps us employed.

During a late-night coding session, my buddy deleted a single comment line that said "do not remove this or everything breaks." Five seconds later, the server fans sounded like a jet engine and our test screen turned twelve shades of red. My buddy calmly pressed Ctrl+Z, backed away from the keyboard, and whispered that some ancient curses are better left undisturbed.
