and twisted a bit.

I see the makings of a bizarre personal recognition code...
Two sysadmins pass in the streer, they make the sign
(one hand slicing down the wrist of another. They stop,
and meet together in a secluded alley....):
Admin1: "Are you a friend of the camel, the bat, and the dragonfly?"
Admin2: "As long as I have known them, my existence has been meaningful."
Admin1: "What is the purpose of pagers?"
Admin2: "To get out of intolerable staff meetings, of course."
Admin1: "What is your quest?"
Admin2: "To strive until every luser and every blade of grass has been
made clueful."
Admin1: "If you see Bill Gates on the road?"
Admin2: "Cut his head off."
Admin1: "Friend!"
Admin2: "Brother!"
The admins depart for the Bastard bar for nice pint of ale...
