   Several years ago I worked for someone who was notorious for replying to my   
   tech questions with "I dunno Nicky, did you Google it?"... with a likewise   
   notorious shit-eating grin.   
      
   When he called me late at night one time for help fixing a system that was   
   down, I asked him if he "Googled it"...  with a shit-eating grin.   
      
   Apparently, the sarcasm interpretation was a one-way street.   
      
   Yeah yeah yeah, I know, I know... if you're eating shit and grinning, you've   
   got far bigger problems than a file-access problem.
