Others have pointed out the concept of bait without a trap.

Yes, incorrectly so.
--- Quote ---Other instances of baits without traps are photographing wild animals and flea dusting wild rodents. If your self proclaimed vast resource of knowledge lacks the understanding of what photography and flea powder has to do with bait, feel free to ask.

You don't understand the difference between "bait" and "reward" or "incentive", as the words are commonly used in the English language. According to you, a weekly paycheck from your employer would be called "bait".

"Come here Maxim!"

(Maxim obeys command)

SavannahLion:
So along with broken, CRT vs. LCD, and bait/trap, I think we can officially add the words reward and incentive to that list. This should be fun.

That deserves a few more :laugh2: :laugh2:. Holy crap, people in the office are asking me what's so funny. Stop, please stop. I only have to last another week here.

His reward is a free game on a Donkey Kong with a joystick that won't go right.

"Show me a broken Nintendo joystick Cheffo."

"I said, show me a broken Nintendo joystick Cheffo!"
(Cheffo heckles)

(Cheffo starts getting frustrated with his inability to comply)
(Cheffo starts thinking that maybe he could destroy his own joystick with a hammer, because, "That'll show him!")
(Cheffo dismisses idea as stupid when he remembers that it is his own joystick)
(Cheffo forgets it is his own joystick as his frustration mounts)
(Cheffo yells "ARGH!!!" and grabs a hammer and proceeds to go loco on a joystick)
(Cheffo submits picture of his foolishness, relieved that he has finally complied with Maxim's command)
(Cheffo smacks himself on the head when he remembers the "manufacturer's intended usage" clause of the command)
