Fingered Jokes

I work at the Help Desk at TCU, and as you can imagine the phones are quite busy to say the least.
One day I received this call from one of the students here asking if I had ever fingered someone.
This call totally caught me off guard, and I thought for sure it was a call from one of the fraternities on campus. I asked the student to repeat the question as I was sure I had misunderstood the question. He again asked if I had ever fingered someone.
I then laughed out loud, thinking this was a prank, another "Lets get the Help Desk" type of prank.
I said to the caller, "aren't you getting a little personal"?
He then said, "No, no, this is a command that is used on the VAX system."
Boy did I get egg on my face that time. I did learn a lesson however, never assume the question being asked is how it sounds, as some things do have double meanings.

Why did the firefly keep stealing things? He was light fingered!
