    I'll go first, let's use the following format.


    "My hub traffic is low!"

    Hubbers - "HOW LOW IS IT?"

    "My hub traffic is so low an ant could NOT do the Limbo under the chart!"

    (Laugh track here)

    Ok, who's next?

        Scores are just scores.  We get advised over and over not to worry about them.

        But here I was feeling rich and favoured with the big banner telling me that my "Earnings so far" were $0.03 - and it is in solid US dollare, mind you - and then Whoa!!  One morning it all blew away.  It is gone, all of it.  Gone in one woof.  I am back to $0.00!

        Oh me, oh my!!  hmm Bold text hmm

      Sed-meposted 9 years agoin reply to this

      Why did the hubber score cross the road?
      Because the HPs employee (who changes hubber scores at their whimsey) looked bored.



      Knock, knock.
      Who's there?
      HP's employee.
      What do you want?
      To remove your self confidence and shame you in front of your peers.
      Why would I open the door?
      Just wanted to encourage you to keep submitting material.
      So you can tell me it's not good enough?
      Right.
      I'll have something by tomorrow.
      Thanks. Also, could I borrow a cup of sugar?
      No. Why don't you just go to the store?
      I have a bet with the others that I can strip you of all value and you'll just keep coming back for more.
      Is one cup enough?
