So a coworker and I are always talking about code.  Not terribly interesting (especially for people who aren't in the biz…), but sometimes we make ourselves laugh.  Yes, I know.  I am a huge nerd for finding conversations about code to be funny…

 

But anyway, the other day we were talking about XHTML validation (you're welcome to start sleeping about right now, if you wish) and how validation fails if there are markup tags that are not "closed" (e.g., a "div" tag that hold an image, text, etc. needs to have a "closing" tag to tell the browser what it's dealing with). 

 

Somehow, the comment was made that life feels like failed XHTML validation–replete with open "tags" of disappointment that never close…

 

Boy, I made myself bored just writing this.  Appartently my line of work is dorky and lame.  Oh well.
