Conferences that require you to submit the paper in the proceedings format, and then announce that the camera ready version must be two pages shorter than the page limit for submissions. Given that no one reads printed proceedings any more, and electrons are relatively cheap, this seems like a particularly irritating decision just to annoy authors.
If you are not a researcher in computer science this will not make much sense to you. So instead, have a surreal lolly stick joke that I sucked off yesterday:
Q: The Ivy League
A: Where do plants play football?
Either this is a strange new direction into "Jeopardy"-style joke telling, or they had the stick put into the machine the wrong way round.

I think you have it backwards. The researchers in computer science are precisely the ones to whom it makes no sense.
