A co-worker (Jon) sent out a email notification indicating that one of our internal server applications would have to be restarted in order to implement a modification … or “Patch”.

Being the smart-ass that I am … I replied …

Me: Man, you have got to get those servers to kick the nicotine habit … they are just not handling the patch that well

Jon: Ya, well the Nicorette kept gooping up the CPU fan, so we had to try something different

Jon’s response almost made me fall out of my chair laughing.

(Yes, I am easily amused)
