Meese-ethics Jokes

  • Funny Jokes

    The following are strange error messages you can get Unix to generate.
    They were culled during the summer of 1988 from rec.humor. As
    we all know, real error messages have two parts: a message code, and a
    return code. Ideally, the message code is hexadecimal, the return code
    is octal, and the manual explaining the error messages uses decimal.
    But Unix (tm), in keeping with its characteristic lexical confusion,
    produces error messages which, although designed to make the system
    appear sentient, and conversational, ultimately make the system seem as
    stupid as it is. Note that the '%' prompt indicates that the command
    should be issued from the C shell, and the '$' prompt indicates the
    Bourne shell. Enjoy.
