I am glad to see that Josh got this guy to hang himself!
I thought of one line, and then couldn't just stop. The list below is
dedicated to those who are burnt out from studying, and are looking for any
reason to laugh.
Top ten ways to spot somebody who is NOT a CCIE:
10. Brags he has a frankenIDS running on Tandy 1000HX in his home lab.
9. Swears that Token ring was named after creative jewelry used at
Woodstock '69.
8. IPX is the protocol used by people who like to participate in extreme
sports.
7. Sniffer?!?.... I hardly knew.... <edited/radio bleep> .
6. A GRE tunnel is a sandwich with gravy, radishes, and eggs.
5. TARP -- Trap And Release Protocol. Term used in I.T. to describe
unscrupulous
consultants. It can be compared to what a phony exterminator would do:
Hired to kill cockroaches, leaves mouse droppings behind to generate more
billable hours...
4. Held a Pix 520 interface, while it gave birth to the first pix 501.
3. Is not quite sure, but thinks BSTUN is a setting used on token ring
phasers.
2. Can speak 6 dailects of appletalk.
and the number 1 way to spot somebody who is not a CCIE:
1. Says he has every Cisco cert in the world, can't remember his CCIE #.
Ok folks, now get back to studying/work! :)
