Computers
For my last computer configuration I needed some very stable OS, so I decided to install UNIX. I had never used it before, but given all the word of mouth I had heard - what could go wrong?
Many things, as became clear shortly afterwards. First of all, it happened to be in the same period as I decided to try quitting (once again) my booze habit.
As the law goes (forgot which one...), if some things CAN go wrong, they WILL go wrong, and of course all at the same time. So that's exactly what happened:
As I was checking the new config, I found a physical error on the HDD. Damn! All the stuff that I needed had already been installed... Fighting the damn Delirium Tremens, having seizures every couple of hours... so much time for nothing. I really couldn't take my time once more for the same thing - I had spent nearly 3 hours installing everything, so I decided to try packing all the stuff on an external HDD and as I directed the system to do it, I had a new seizure.
As anybody who has ever had Delirium Tremens will understand, things can go bad real fast. And they did. I only had time to hit "enter" to start the procedure, as I lost my consciousness.
When I woke up, I called the ambulance, as I was all shaky and even some blood was coming out of my mouth.
One thing did go right - as I looked at the screen, I saw that all data had been transferred.
So the summary for me was, as I waited for the ambulance -
UNIX packed it, new DT.

Sorry, just wanted to try...
EDIT: You are too kind :)

I shall click that
There I am, trying to work UNIX into a similarly bad pun, and some bugger beats me to it! (With a far better offering)

Nicely done, sir.

I too...

...doff my cap in your general direction.

For my next pun, not only was I also thinking UNIX, I was also going to implement a 'DT' reference - only in a De-tox capacity.

You have spared the world my next crap effort.

It appears that great minds think of similar shite puns.

Well...your great mind, and the puddle of mush that festers between my ears ;)

Murphy's Law.
And agh! Why are people getting so much more detailed and lengthy leading me to think ti shall be some fantastic outcome and then I am whacked in the face with a pun? ~eats a bread roll very angrily~
