Seen on a cig lighter:

"Do not use near fire or flame."

Kind of defeatist, no?

I was in the nslookup program and accidentally entered "quit" to get out
of
the program.  Any dolt would know that "quit" would be a really stupid
command to enter to quit a program. Well, at least the people at
primenet
do, this is what I got back for me efforts:

I know that they probably only expect thier tech people internally to be
using this command, but I do think its just a tad rude.

According to InfoWorld the Japanese translation of Microsoft's
familiar ad slogan is "If you don't know where you want to go, we'll
make sure you get taken." Sounds like it's translated right to me.
