Work? Wassat? Surely no one here can be gainfully employable...

Analysis shows
There's a burst of good stories at the beginning, as people are instantly reminded of them, when reading the QOTW; then a lull, before building to the main peak, then another lull before a late burst of "oh, I just remembered another one":
