    A canibal walked in to the canibal resturant and was looking at the menu...

    Windows Administrator $2
    Windows Developer $2
    Solaris Administrator $2
    GNU Hippie $16

    The canibal asked the waiter, "Why is the GNU Hippie so fucking much?"

    The waiter replied, "You ever tried cleaning one of those things?"
