1. WIth what do we gift our SysAdmins?
Candy? Flowers? Paper? Linens? Profuse hickeys?

2. Those are all very thoughtful ideas.
Martinis are also nice, for givers who are uncomfortable going down in the server closet.

3. You want someone to go down on you in the server closet?
I heard you SysAdmins were a sick bunch, but...I never.

5. If Yahweh had not wanted us to engage in fellatio and cunnilingus,
It wouldn't have given us such nice mouths and tongues.

6. That is NOT how you do network wiring
and network wiring is done by a network analyst, not a sysadmin.

15. Oh, I think we went to see another stupid band that night.
No steak, no blowjob.

Maybe a belated celebration this weekend.

Good suggestion.

24. At least the month is almost over.
You have my sympathy.
