Explaining T-Shirts

[Patrick C]

I have a lot of GNU/Linux T-shirts, and people ask me what they mean all the
time, but I usually get sick of it after a while. I should wear plain
colored shirts or hand out pamphlets or something. The one that people
misinterpret the most is the

$> man woman
segmentation fault: core dumped

I think if they hadn't bastardized the bash shell by adding the greater than
sign it would be better. At least then people would stop saying "money is
greater than manwoman?"
