This list of 100 things you don’t want to here your System Administrator say comes from PacketStorm Unix Humor. And I’ve got to admit, I’ve said several of these lines before.
1. Uh-oh…..
2. Shit!!
3. What the hell!?
4. Go get your backup tape. (You do have a backup tape?)
5. That’s SOOOOO bizarre.
6. Wow!! Look at this…..

Here is how to tell if you are a Philadelphian. I know I don’t actually live in Philadelphia, but I have lived 20 miles west of Philly my whole life, so I understand practically all of these.
You know you’re from Philly when:
You punctuate every sentence with, “You know” at least twice.

You hate the Redskins
You hate Dallas.
You realize that your favorite dessert is “wooder ice”.
You find yourself using “yo” and “youse guys” when talking long-distance to family members.
You know how to spell Schuylkill.

This is a pretty interesting screenshot I took showing what can happen with a VNC loopback. I have setup VNC tunneling over ssh to connect to my pc from my work. I also use the Cisco VPN client to connect to my work. I then use Remote Desktop to get to my work pc. Two different methods to do the same thing in different directions, right. Now I have to use the cisco method to get to my work from a virtual machine I have setup on Virtual Server, because of a driver problem with Windows XP 64-bit. So I have connected to my work here, then I connected back to my pc from work.
As you can see it started opening tons of VNC connections, since it kept looping around. Kind of like holding two mirrors together. I guess it would keep going forever, except the computer would eventually crash. I closed the first vnc windows pretty quickly, and everything was back to normal. I wouldn’t recommend doing this, but I wanted to see what would happen.
I’ve lived in Pennsylvania all my life, so I really enjoyed this email about Pennsylvania that I got today. I understand pretty much everything on this list, which makes it even more funny. So here is how to know if you are from or in Pennsylvania:
You’ve never referred to Philadelphia as anything but “Philly.” And New Jersey has always been “Jersey.”
You refer to Pennsylvania as “PA” (pronounced Peeay). How many other states do that?
