Post your groan-inducing shell jokes here. :)

I'll start:


mkdir hammerTime
chmod 500 hammerTime
cd hammerTime
touch this
#2
wine (at) /home/till_you_get_drunk
#3

Sex: { look; find; talk; grep; touch; finger; find; flex; unzip; mount; workbone; fsck; yes; gasp; fsck; yes; eject; umount; makeclean; zip; split; done; exit }

Gasp is an assembly preprocessor... http://nixdoc.net/man-pages/Linux/gasp.1.html

From a windows command prompt:

C:\>windows
'windows' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

On a linux prompt:

$ whatis
Whatis what?
$ whatis politics
politics: nothing appropriate.

**the above works for anything that is not a man page. Speaking of man pages,...

$ man woman
No manual entry for woman

Didn't get this next one to display verbatim in bash, but:

$ drink <bottle; opener
bottle: cannot open
opener: not found

Remember to never remove apt, or you might get this if you run apt-get:

The program apt-get is currently not installed. You can install it by typing apt-get install apt
$ cat "can of food"
cat: cannot open can of food
$ make dead
make: *** No rule to make target `dead'. Stop.

That last one actually killed the facebook thread I started on this subject - hopefully it doesn't do that here. :)

never knew that they used that command, but have heard of the machine itself. I also heard of an all electric moto gp bike that runs linux and can be tuned from the pit via wireless while the bike is on the track
