I think I got this from comp.lang.fortran:
-- Boss, can I ask you something?
-- Sure.
-- Everyone's always talking about vacations and free time and things like
that. How come I never have any?
-- You wouldn't like it.
-- But they say it's better than work. They really forward to it.
-- Remember last year, when the office was shut down for a week?
-- When they replace all windows? Sure I remember. I couldn't play with
a computer for a week. Horrible.
-- Vacations are like that.
-- Oh.
-- So you wouldn't like them.
-- But everyone else does.
-- Ah, but that's because they're lusers, not hackers.
-- Oh.
-- Now go back and write that compiler. We need it last week.
Hope you liked.
Emilio.
