Here's a gem from the FreeBSD-chat mailing list:

06/04/28

I had a Doh! moment of my own, long before Homer appeared. One place I worked used "test" as a prefix for user names, followed by the user's initials. Our hardware supplier, International Computers Limited (the name is now gone, the remains being part of the Fujitsu empire), wanted a test user. It was only when listings with TESTICL banner headings appeared on my desk that I realised what I'd done.

A teen from the Internet of Today interacting with a BBS:

The following came from a post on Slashdot by the user Chairboy. 

As an ex-sysop, I wonder occasionally how a modern chatter 
would do on an old style BBS.

Sysop: Hey, i need to take the bbs off for a minute to get fido.
User:  asl?
Sysop: It'll just be down for a few minutes, call back later, ok?

Sysop: Sorry, I don't understand what you're saying. I've got to reboot too, 
       so I'm going to disconnect you.
User:  omfg hax, wtf is tis, spiware? a55h013!

Funny Quotes

We received a water service interruption notice at work today (June 6, 2007)

"Please draw enough water for your needs prior to the shutdown and turn off the power to any equipment that could be damaged by a water supply loss (e.g. boilers, water-cooled computers, refrigeration systems..." What kind of water-cooled computer needs a constantly renewed supply of water?

IRC Quotes

A humor section just wouldn't be complete without IRC Quotes... so this is not complete, as I don't remember where my old ones are. For the mean time just head on over to Bash.org

Here's a new collection
