t-shirt quotes....suggestions?

[fireheart]

I'm planning on doing a slogan t-shirt for my boyfriend this Christmas. Well, two actually. One is a character from a comic strip that he likes, the other one...well, I have all of these quotes in mind but I'm stuck.

He works in IT (or is hunting for a job in IT) and I thought it'd be funny to get him one that reflects that. Any suggestions as to a quote I could use?

So far I have the following:

"There are 10 types of people in the world: those who understand binary and those who don't."
"The Internet: Where men are men, women are men and children are policemen" (the original quote substituted FBI agents for policemen)

I was thinking of something involving Linux as well, as that's what he uses at the moment.

How about "I will not fix your computer"

How about "I will not fix your computer"

he actually DID suggest that for me because ever since he became MCSA qualified, he's had his mates asking him to fix their computers.

My favorite always has been:

"IT Department: Your ignorance is my job security"

[Parrothead]

I like the all-purpose "I used up all my sick days, so I'm calling in dead"

Or this

What about "I was put on this planet to accomplish a certain number of things. Right now, I'm sooooo far behind, I can never die"

I've always gotten a kick out of "There are 10 types of people in the world......", because I actually get it! And, IIRC, I think I "got it" the first time I read it, because it seemed logical, due to the phrase content, that "10" was binary for two, and not ten.

But, I'm very far from being a techie. There's no way I could decipher binary without some kind of code key. Hell, I don't know that anyone could do so, but would guess that there's some logic to it, to where the actual techie types could decipher it on their own.

Several years ago, I decided to be clever and post something on another forum of which I'm a member, to the guy who runs it, and software writer. I can't remember what I was trying to say to him. Perhaps wishing him a Happy Birthday, or something. Found a binary code key, and don't even remember how long I spent composing "Happy Birthday", (or whatever) in binary.

I believe I went over it several times, and was satisfied it was correct. All proud of myself, I posted it. When the guy read it, he appreciated the gesture, and my efforts in posting in binary, but pointed out at least one error.

So, that kinda deflated the old ego.

Tempted to use this for the tagline for the Unsupportable section.

How about: "Yes, I work on computers. No, I will not work on yours for free."

Tempted to use this for the tagline for the Unsupportable section.

You should!
