Way back when I was lab managing a custom photoshop, I had a gentleman come in---I guess he was in his sixties---with a very old print. It showed a cow, in profile, in a barnyard. You could see beneath it someone's legs, the rest of him hidden by the cow. "This is the only photo I have of my great-grandfather. I wondered if you could make a copy and remove the cow so I could see what he looked like." He was perfectly serious. I hated disappointing him. Sometimes it’s just sad.

I know it's not high end, but http://www.w00t.chaobell.net/20021204.html -- I love w00t-comic. It starts out a little draggy but picks up. And hey, LGBTQI. I need to make a boss from hell quote list. Topping would be: BFH: (on phone) "I know he's a pedophile, but if we can't find someone to supervise him, we can't find someone to supervise him." Me: "What if he hurts some kid? I can't just turn him loose." BFH: "There's nothing you can do about it." (click and dial tone) Before you all panic, yes, I found someone to take the pedophile, because I am the master of networking. If people hadn't owed me favors, though . . . not funny. Ah, the jobs we do for $10 an hour . . . Awesome site, thanks for the link :) .
