Warning, techie joke ahead: the venerable stored procedure

I like The Daily WTF because it's ... well, often very funny. Today's funny involves a totally "proper," but insane use of a database stored procedure.

Yeah, management decreed that stored procedures were to be used, but failed to explain exactly why they were important. Of course you might guess that in this article they got it wrong. I would explain it, but it would take too long, and then the joke wouldn't be funny anymore.

Not, of course, that it's funny now.
