I had a theory at work, before retirement, that it was company policy that all new software had to be more expensive and harder to use than what it was replacing. Because if that experience, after retirement my rule is: If it runs, it is just fine!

Hello chicagorandy. That was hilarious. I found this one at the start of the Covid problems in early 2020 and sent it to our local Bill Mick radio show on iHeart and he put it up on his website.
I hope that you all enjoy it.

A teen takes a shortcut home through a cemetery. Halfway across, he’s startled by a tapping noise coming from the misty shadows. Trembling with fear, he spots an old man with a hammer and chisel, chipping away at a headstone. “I thought you were a ghost,” says the relieved teen. “What are you doing working so late?” “Oh, those idiots,” grumbles the old man. “They misspelled my name!”

Well I think there are two possibilities. You can see the hook in the hot dog in the photo, so if the black hole takes the bait we'l have it, but the hook could cut it up a bit. The second possibility is like the real story about the dog that was trapped in a frozen lake and they hung a hot dog from a drone to lure it out. If this happens the black hole would be undamaged. That's probably the preferred outcome.

The NASA folks are very creative. I think I've posted this before, but here's another example of their skill:
