9 out of 10? by John+Starks · 2004-05-01 08:05 · Score: 2, Funny

In Canada, when they say 9 out of 10, they mean 9 out of THE 10 developers.

  Yeah can you please send a few of your american developers up here?
  We can make the code but we just can't seem to produce the same quantity of bugs as you guys do. I mean administering a system is just no fun without panicking over a patch every couple days and we would really appreciate if you could show us how to make such buggy code so our users can enjoy the same level of patching as yours!
