I *AM* a Strange Error Message and I am offended by all
these insulting "strange error message" jokes!

Come on now, it's not easy being a SEM ya know.  You spend
your whole life in some dark, rarely accessed disk sector
waiting for some user to make some uniquely human blunder
before you get to see the light of day.  And what thanks
do you get? HAH! I'm usually tossed into the first available
wastebasket with the user making some infered comment about 
my canine lineage!

ENOUGH is ENOUGH!  If you users aren't sensitive to the feelings
of SEM's, like myself, then maybe we'll just refuse to queue
for printout during development and wait for a really important
demonstration - before the corporate vice-president and everything -
and then watch how many of us show up!  SO THERE!
