I have a few programmer colleagues who have pretty large Ford trucks which they drive to work every day. I asked one why he had such a large vehicle to cart his ass to work every day and he told me that he occasionally goes fishing on weekends.

I was just about to tell him about some guys I knew whole managed to fit their fishing poles on their bikes. But instead my eyes started to roll... sort of uncontrollably... and I said nothing.

I figured it would be like trying to explain the Big Bang origin of the universe or quantum physics or something
