defending attorney was cross examining a coroner.
The attorney asked, "Before you signed the death certificate had you taken the man's pulse?"
The coroner said, "No."
The attorney then asked, "Did you listen for a heart beat?"
"No."
"Did you check for breathing?"
"No."
"So when you signed the death certificate you had not taken any steps to make sure the man was dead, had you?"
The coroner, now tired of the brow beating said, "Well, let me put it this way. The man's brain was sitting in a jar on my desk, but for all I know he could be out there practicing law somewhere."

While my comment re emacs vs vi was a joke, I do use vim -- and only vim -- on the cli.

Not because it's superior in any way that I know, but because it's the only cli text editor I know how to use efficiently. I never spent the time to learn emacs or nano.
The first thing I do on any new Linux machine install is to purge nano.

A man, his wife and his Mother-in-law all booked a trip to the Holy Land together.
While they were there, the mother-in-law was taken very ill and passed away. An undertaker told the man "You can have her shipped home for $5,000, or you can bury her here in the Holy Land for $150." The man thought about it for a some time, and then told him he would just have her shipped home.
The undertaker asked him "Why? Why would you spend $5,000 to ship your mother-in-law home, when it would be wonderful to have her buried here and only spend $150?"
The man said "A man died here 2,000 years ago. He was buried here and 3 days later, he rose from the dead. I just can't take that chance. :)
