That reminds me of a news thread in rec.humor whose subject line says "You know 
you have been on the computer too long when ..." One of these said: "... you 
try to grep a book." Perhaps we now ought to add " ... and grep returned 1" 
(that would be spooky). Others included "... your wife wants you to take out 
the trash, and you are looking for the trashcan icon." "You tried to double-
click your office window to open it." and on and on.
