You look as if you have been all over the world. I went to the airport to check in and they asked what I did because I looked like a terrorist. I said I was a comedian. They said, "Say something funny then."

Sponsored by Microsoft. it said "A STUDY BY < some company > SHOWS THAT IT MAY COST UPTO THREE TIMES TO SWITCH TO LINUX THAN CONTINUE USING WINDOWS". It took me few seconds to decipher what it actually meant: "A study by < some company > shows that it may cost upto 3 times to switch to linux than do nothing". HA HA. Obviously a factually correct statement and one with no dispute.
