You know you've been a programmer for too long when...

[Megiddo]

You have a conversation like this:

Megiddo: Do you ever feel compelled to make sure you still have all your spoons?
Stickly Man!: nope!
Stickly Man!: marbles-- yes. Spoons, no
Megiddo: How many marbles have you lost?
Stickly Man!: 23.7 marbles total
Stickly Man!: rounding down
Megiddo: Have you tried getting down on your hands and knees and searching for them by running your hands over the carpet?
Stickly Man!: no, the cat's usually scan the carpet quite well for that
Stickly Man!: .. then knock the marbles into even more obscure places
Megiddo: How many marbles do you have left?
Stickly Man!: 12,988.4
Megiddo: Phew
Megiddo: At least there's a few left

I get some interesting answers to the monkey questions:

Megiddo: If you had seventeen monkeys in the room you are currently occupying, what would you do?
MTofGG: Grab a monkey wrench and fix the problem.
Megiddo: how would that fix anything?
MTofGG: Well, I figure, if you hit them hard enough on the head to knock them out, they're much easier to deal with.
MTofGG: An alternative would be to set up 17 typewriters and see how long it takes them to reproduce the entire works of Shakespeare.
Megiddo: What if they refuse and throw chocolate at you instead?
MTofGG: Depends.
MTofGG: If the chocolate is still in the wrapper, you unwrap it and eat it.
MTofGG: Then you move to step two, which is what you skip to if it's unwrapped.
MTofGG: Step two involves a tranq. gun and calling animal control.
Megiddo: Chocolate was metaphorical
MTofGG: I figured it was, but I felt like being a smart aleck.
Megiddo: lol
MTofGG: lol
Megiddo: Mmm metaphorical chocolate
Megiddo: Is there anything better?
MTofGG: Yes.
MTofGG: Metaphysical chocolate.
Megiddo: Noooo
Megiddo: Then you're not sure if you've really tasted it
MTofGG: But it's such a unique experience.
Megiddo: That's like a drink that erases your memory of tasting it
Megiddo: Is it great, or horrible?
Megiddo: Who can know?
MTofGG: Just like seeing a wizard. They can wipe your memory. Maybe you see them every day, but you'd never know.
Megiddo: the best kind of visit
MTofGG: Yep.
