Inspired by discussions of Turing tests in another thread... what if the gear we work on was capable of expressing human sarcasm, complaining, and frustration?

Router# sh run

What, you have no clue what you're looking for?

Router# sh run

Seriously, are you just hunting for errors?

Router# sh run

Look, how about you get some stats? I bet that will tell you what the problem is.

Router# sh run

At least use a pipe command, I've got a huge running-config, I'd really rather not go through the whole thing.

Router# sh run

You obviously have no clue, I'm afraid I'll have to take matters into my own hand

Router> conf t

I don't think so. Log off and let someone with a clue have a go at things.

Router> enable

Just walk away. Do it now, and I won't warn the other gear about you.

Just make sure it's not on a production switch... hate to have to be in the middle of an outage and then get this:

Router# conf t

I'm afraid I can't do that, Dave.
