<ol>
  <li>Uh-oh.....
  <li>Shit!!
  <li>What the hell!?
  <li>Go get your backup tape. (You <b>do</b> have a backup tape?)
  <li>That's SOOOOO bizarre.
  <li>Wow!! Look at this.....
  <li>Hey!! The suns don't do this.
  <li>Terminated??!
  <li>What software license?
  <li>Well, it's doing <b>something</b>.....
  <li>Wow....that seemed <b>fast</b>.....
  <li>I got a better job at Lockheed...
  <li>Management says...
  <li>Sorry, the new equipment didn't get budgetted.
  <li>What do you mean that wasn't a copy?
  <li>It didn't do that a minute ago...
  <li>Where's the GUI on this thing?
  <li>Damn, and I just bought that pop...
  <li>Where's the DIR command?
  <li>The drive ate the tape but that's OK, I brought my screwdriver.
  <li>I cleaned up the root partition and now there's <b>lots</b> of free space.
  <li>What's this "any" key I'm supposed to press?
  <li>Do you smell something?
  <li>What's that grinding sound?
  <li>I have never seen it do *that* before...
  <li>I think it should not be doing that...
  <li>I remember the last time I saw it do that...
  <li>You might as well all go home early today ...
  <li>My leave starts tomorrow.
  <li>Ooops.
  <li>Hmm, maybe if I do this...
  <li>"Why is my "rm *.o" taking so long?"
  <li>Hmmm, curious...
  <li>Well, <b>my</b> files were backed up.
  <li>What do you mean you needed that directory?
  <li>What do you mean /home was on that disk?  I umounted it!
  <li>Do you really need your home directory to do any work?
  <li>Oracle will be down until 8pm, but you can come back in and finish your work when it comes up tonight.
  <li>I didn't think anybody would be doing any work at 2am, so I killed your job.
  <li>Yes, I chowned all the files to belong to pvcs.  Is that a problem to you?
  <li>We're standardizing on AIX.
  <li>Wonder what <i>this</i> command does?
  <li>What did you say your (l)user name was...?  ;-)
  <li>You did <b>what</b> to the floppy???
  <li>Sorry, we deleted that package last week...
  <li>NO!  Not <b>that</b> button!
  <li>Uh huh......"nu -k $USER".. no problem....sure thing...
  <li>Sorry, we deleted that package last week...
  <li>[looks at workstation] "Say, what version of DOS is this running?"
  <li>Oops! (said in a quiet, almost surprised voice)
  <li><b>YEEEHA!!!</b>  What a <b>CRASH!!!</b>
  <li>What do you mean that could take down the whole network?
  <li>What's this switch for anyways...?
  <li>Tell me again what that '-r' option to rm does
  <li>Say, What does "Superblock Error" mean, anyhow?
  <li>If I knew it wasn't going to work, I would have tested it sooner.
  <li>Was that <b>your</b> directory?
  <li>System coming down in 0 min....
  <li>The backup procedure works fine, but the restore is tricky!
  <li>Hey Fred, did you save that posting about restoring filesystems with vi and a toothpick?  More importantly, did you print it out?
  <li>OH, SH*T! (as they scrabble at the keyboard for ^c).
  <li>The sprinkler system isn't supposed to leak is it?
  <li>It is only a minor upgrade, the system should be back up in a few hours.  (This is said on a monday afternoon.)
  <li>I think we can plug just one more thing in to this outlet strip with out triping the breaker.
  <li>What is all this I here about static charges destroying computers?
  <li>I found this rabbit program that is supposed to test system performance and I have it running now.
  <li>Ummm... Didn't you say you turned it off?
  <li>The network's down, but we're working on it. Come back after diner. (Usually said at 2200 the night before thesis deadline...)
  <li>Ooops.  Save your work, everyone.  <b>FAST!</b>
  <li>Boy, it's a lot easier when you know what you're doing.
  <li>I hate it when that happens.
  <li>And what does it mean 'rm: .o: No such file or directory'?
  <li>Why did it say '/bin/rm: not found'?
  <li>Nobody was using that file /vmunix, were they?
  <li>You can do this patch with the system up...
  <li>What happens to a Hard Disk when you drop it?
  <li>The only copy of Norton Utilities was on THAT disk???
  <li>Well, I've got a backup, but the only copy of the restore program was on <b>THAT</b> disk....
  <li>What do mean by "fired"?
  <li>hey, what does mkfs do?
  <li>where did you say those backup tapes were kept?
  <li>...and if we just swap these two disc controllers like <b>this</b>...
  <li>don't do that, it'll crash the sys........ SHIT
  <li>what's this hash prompt on my terminal mean?
  <li>dd if=/dev/null of=/vmunix
  <li>find /usr2 -name nethack -exec rm -f {};
  <li>now it's funny you should ask that, because I don't know either
  <li>Any more trouble from you and your account gets moved to the 750
  <li>Ooohh, lovely, it runs SVR4
  <li>SMIT makes it all so much easier......
  <li>Can you get VMS for this Sparc thingy?
  <li>I don't care what he says, I'm <b>not</b> having it on <b>my</b> network
  <li>We don't support that. We <b>won't</b> support that.
  <li>...and after I patched the microcode...
  <li>You've got TECO. What more do you want?
  <li>We prefer not to change the root password, it's an nice easy one
