passing through German security at the Frankfurt Airport, a cheery
security guy pulled me aside to do a test on the computer which seemed to
involve swiping it and looking for some kind of tell-tale chemical
particles.
I joked with him, "hey, this isn't going to destroy my data?!" he
countered, "yes, and it will replace your system with Linux!" I retorted,
"well, it already has Linux." he wasn't at a loss, "ok, but then it will
upgrade it!"
of course, the joke was in a way _against_ Linux - 'scary system', 'data
loss' - but who'd a thought one would be engaged in witty repartee with a
security guard about Linux at all?
they didn't find any suspicious chemicals.
