<tpg[work]> 50000 lines of operating system, 4 uses of "fuck"
<grug> yeah we have a fuck function in one of our applications
<tpg[work]> hmm... grep f\*\*\* ... not a good idea
<grug> did you ever think it was a good idea?
<tpg[work]> well, I tried to escape it so it would match wank
<tpg[work]> but forgot that even though bash wouldn't parse the *, grep would
<tpg[work]> so, 4x "fuck" + 1x "wank", no other curses that a quick grep can find
<bob> so you have a 1 in 12500 chance of getting fuck? I can believe that..
