|
|||
|
|
administrative drones in general). From an old joke about two lions who,
|
|||
|
|
escaping from the zoo, split up to increase their chances but agree to meet
|
|||
|
|
after 2 months. When they finally meet, one is skinny and the other
|
|||
|
|
overweight. The thin one says: “<span class="quote">How did you manage? I ate a human
|
|||
|
|
just once and they turned out a small army to chase me — guns, nets,
|
|||
|
|
it was terrible. Since then I've been reduced to eating mice, insects,
|
|||
|
|
even grass.</span>” The fat one replies: “<span class="quote">Well,
|
|||
|
|
<span class="emphasis"><em>I</em></span> hid near an IBM office and ate a manager a day. And
|
|||
|
|
nobody even noticed!</span>”</p></dd><div class="navfooter"><hr/><table width="100%" summary="Navigation footer"><tr><td width="40%" align="left"><a accesskey="p" href="Linux.html">Prev</a><EFBFBD></td><td width="20%" align="center"><a accesskey="u" href="../L.html">Up</a></td><td width="40%" align="right"><EFBFBD><a accesskey="n" href="Lions-Book.html">Next</a></td></tr><tr><td width="40%" align="left" valign="top">Linux<EFBFBD></td><td width="20%" align="center"><a accesskey="h" href="../index.html">Home</a></td><td width="40%" align="right" valign="top"><EFBFBD>Lions Book</td></tr></table></div></body></html>
