<primis> in the beginning, there was nothing, then god said "let there be the bit" god saw this was good
<primis> ...
<primis> fast foward
<primis> god created the programmer in his own image
<primis> the programmer was happy in the cs lab
<primis> but he was loney
<primis> so he made the user
<primis> and he saw this was good
<primis> god then said,
<primis> "You may use any software on the shelves, except for microsoft windows"
<primis> ...
<jenev> LMAO
<primis> story of the fall
<primis> the manager walked in
<primis> he was a sly creature
<primis> he said "Did god really tell you not to use any software?"
<primis> the programmer replied, "We can use any software we like, just not windows"
<primis> the manager said, "God does not know what is best, he knows that if you use windows you'll be better off, with mice and guis!"
<primis> so the user walked over to the trash heap and pulled out microsoft windows, and installed it on her PC
<primis> the user saw that it was good, so she gave it to the programmer, who also installed it, and saw that it was indeed, good
<primis> ...
<primis> later, god went back to the CS lab, and saw that the programmer was not to be found
<primis> so god cried out "Programmer, where are you?"
<primis> and the programmer yelled out "I'm over here in the software room looking for sound drivers"
<primis> God asked "Why do you need drivers? Unix does not need such things!"
<primis> the programmer said "my user requested them for her windows box"
<primis> God yelled out "You have used Microsoft Windows!?! You have been forever cursed!"
<primis> God then yelled out "All users shall be forbidden from entering the CS lab and will be forever incompetent in their knowledge of software!"
<primis> then he turned to the programmer and said "And all programmers will be forever plauged from unsatisfied users and buggy code"
<primis> (The end)
* jenev cheers and whistles
<jenev> that was great
<jenev> lol
