I'm happy to see this studied and published. Still, if you have to explain a joke, you kill it.

I'm an office clown but I've learned to keep it all in the chatrooms and ticket descriptions. Cross the wit/work barrier at your org's peril!

Case in point: at my first job, I got bored with a stock image that displayed when the app ran, so I replaced it with a photo of Obama laughing. Handsome devil! And then I committed it by mistake. It could have easily reached production.

The right approach would have been to edit my hosts file, or to use a proxy like Charles to map the image URL to a local Obama. It's a great technique for replacing the Jenkins butler with a rage face. Just, keep it away from the repo!
