quoted from http://liw.iki.fi/liw/texts/vacation.html
Boss, what's vacation?
"Boss, can I ask you something?"
"Sure."
"Everyone's always talking about vacations and free time and things like that. How come I never have any?"
"You wouldn't like it."
"But they think it's better than work. They really look forward to it."
"Remember last year, when the office was shut down for a week."
"When they replaced all windows? Sure I remember. I couldn't play with a computer for a week. Horrible."
"Vacations are like that."
"Oh."
"So you wouldn't like them."
"But everyone else does."
"Ah, but that's because they're lusers, not hackers."
"Oh."
"Now go back and write that compiler. We need it last week."
