Funniest IT Related Boasts You've Heard?

Posted by Cliff on from the humorous-distraction-from-american-politics dept.

Karma asks: "The other day I saw a Slashdot comment which read, '[Projects] don't start getting interesting until you are dealing with Staff Years to develop them. Anything under that and you can actually keep the full design in your head'. An immodest boast, but not too funny. This made me wonder, in the macho worlds of IT and developers, what are the funniest and silliest boasts or bragging claims you've made, or heard? Tell us how they came back to haunt the overconfident."

    You spent 2 hours to bring up the system just because it has no init scripts (rc2.d or /etc/init.d).. ?? You are in no way a experienced Unix/Linux Admin. Yes even with 20 servers a good Admin can bring those machines in 20 minutes max..
