Australian Customs have recently suffered a rather unfortunate set back in their "War Against Terror" with the admission that two of their secure mainframe servers have been wheeled out of the building by persons unknown. I'll bet my $2 that the root password on those boxes was 'trustno1'."

    Why do waiters deserve a gift for doing their job again?

    (I used to work as a waiter at Pizza Express, and I always considered tippers to be complete idiots who didn't understand the value of money, I never got annoyed at non tippers)

    The only reason why waiters are an angry bunch is because they're such losers.
