Lets see if I can get something going here.. A game for the *nix users. Sorry microsh** :D

Step one : go to terminal and run the command

sudo apt-get install fortunes-bofh-excuses

or if your running a BSD release, install it from your ports collection like a real man! :P

Anyway, once that's done and installed, run the following command in terminal :

>fortune bofh-excuses

The idea is for each user to run the command and post back the result, please no double posting. Wait for someone else to reply before you do.

I'll go first :
