Humor: Know your System Administrator

I laughed out loud for 5 minutes reading through a joke, called Know Your Sysadmin, harvested from old email archives.  It goes on about all the different prototypical administrators through the eons.  Here’s my favorite entry:

SITUATION:

Stupid user questions

TECHNICAL THUG:

Answers question in hex, binary, postfix, and/or French until user gives up and goes away.

ADMINISTRATIVE FASCIST:

Locks user’s account until user can present documentation demonstrating their qualification to use the machine.

MANIAC:

# cat > > ~luser/.cshrc alias vi ‘rm \!*;unalias vi;grep -v BoZo ~/.cshrc > ~/.z; mv -f ~/.z ~/.cshrc’ ^D

IDIOT:

Answers all questions to best of his knowledge. Recruits user to system administration team.

Kudos to nixCraft for linking to it!
