Read on Hacker NewsWell, this worked for me: head over to http://www.feedbooks.com/author/245 (that's the Robert E. Howard of Conan fame). Pick up any one of the stories tagged "Western". They're almost all humorous stories about a larger-than-life-yet-naive frontier-man who bashes his enemies plentifully, is in turn knocked about and shot at quite a bit, but survives to prevail. Most of his enemies also survive. With appropriate search-replace, one could probably produce amusing software development parables from those stories. They're about the right length, too.
