? Last night I dreamed that the Real World had adopted the "Unix   Philosophy."  E I went to a fast-food place for lunch.  When I arrived, I found that  G the menu had been taken down, and all the employees were standing in a  A line behind the counter waiting for my orders.  Each of them was  F smaller than I remembered; there were more of them than I'd ever seen ; before, and they had very strange names on their name tags.   A I tried to give my order to the first employee, but he just said  D something about a "syntax error."  I tried another employee with no A more luck.  He just said "Eh?" no matter what I told him.  I had  B similar experiences with several other employees.   (One employee E named "ed" didn't even say "Eh?," he just looked at me quizzically.)  C Disgusted, I sought out the manager (at least it said "man" on his  A nametag) and asked him for help.  He told me that he didn't know  D anything about "help," and to try somebody else with a strange name  for more information.   C The fellow with the strange name didn't know anything about "help"  G either, but when I told him I wanted to order he directed me to a girl  E named "oe," who handled order entry.  (He also told me about several  C other employees I couldn't care less about, but at least I got the   information I needed.)  A I went to "oe" and when I got to the front of the queue she just  F smiled at me.  I smiled back.  She just smiled some more.  Eventually G I realized I shouldn't expect a prompt.  I asked for a hamburger.  She ? didn't respond, but since she didn't say "Eh?" I knew I'd done  E something right.  We smiled at each other for a little while longer,  F then I told her I was finished with my order.  She directed me to the + cashier, wher I paid and received my order.   G The hamburger was fine, but it was completely bare ... not even a bun.  C I went back to "oe" to complain, but she just said "Eh?" a lot.  I  E went to the manager and asked him about "oe."  The manager explained  F to me that "oe" had thousands of options, but if I wanted any of them F I'd have to know in advance what they were and exactly how to ask for  them.   E He also told me about "vi," who would write down my order and let me  C correct it before I was done, and how to hand the written order to  F "oe."  "vi" had a nasty habit of writin gdown my corrections unless I A told her that I was about to make a correction, but it was still  ' easier than dealing directly with "oe."   D By this time I was really hungry, but I didn't have enough money to G order again, so I figured out how to redirect somebody else's order to  1 my plate.  Security was pretty lax at that place.   @ As I was walking out the door, I was snagged in a giant Net.  I  screamed and woke up.   
