Respectfully, what is the point of this article? I got about halfway thru and I had to stop. There are too many frivolous jokes etc. with not enough actual content to keep me going.

Edit (I did not make an edit, I'm issuing a directive :p). Does it need to be as long as it is? I'm sure you've got some good experiences to share but it's lost in the in the foam.
