At work, i am responsible for maintaining a testing environment for a group of testers. This particular one has been problematic, and we’ve had problems, but yesterday i sent out an email that everything should be “fully operational.”
For the rest of the day, all i could think of was the Death Star from Star Wars. It was always in various stages of being “fully operational.”
I think the next time i have to send an email of that nature, i will rephrase it to say, “Witness the Fire Power of this fully operational Death Star!… i mean, testing environment!”

Work would be a lot more fun if everyone had a good sense of humor.
