      From: tup@ac.net              Microsoft now has its own Church               There's a rather famous story of a journalist who goes into a bar        gets a drink and sits down and then two more guys come in and the        bartender screams of those two guys for them to get out        now.              The journalist is understandably confused and he asks the        bartender why he kick them out so forcefully. Bartender says he        recognized some of the patches on their jackets as roundabout        Neo-Microsoft symbols. Not full-blown swastikas just something        that lets people in the know understand that their        neo-Microsofts.              Journalist asks why not just let the guys sit down get a drink        since they were being kind of quiet and didn't seem to be causing        any trouble. Bartender replies that if you don't kick them out        right away they bring their friends and then their friends bring        their friends and before you know it your bar is full of        Microsoft Security Agents and before long your bar gets a        reputation for being full of Microsofts and after that your bar        is a Microsoft bar.              That's how you troll. It's like boiling a frog only a frog is        smart enough to jump out. Human beings are often dumb enough to        let themselves be boiled.                     --              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
