Ok, here's a good one.  This is a very funny joke.  Now what I'm going
to do here is, I'm going to tell you the punch line to this very funny
joke, and you're going to have to fill in the rest for yourself.  Ready?

Bwaa ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!!!

Well I thought it was really funny.  After it stopped being true, that is.
But seriously, diskless suns cause packet storms you wouldn't believe.  Our
network was straight from hell until we got local swap space for all of our
suns.  (We were running Lucid Lisp and InterLeaf.)
