I did a checkin at Sun that added

    .\" Take this out and a Unix Daemon will dog your steps from now until
    .\" the time_t's wrap around.
    .LP
    You can tune a file system, but you cannot tune a fish.

And of course, the numbnuts that ran Solaris took it back out.  Unless I'm
mistaken, I'm the dude that came up with the comment.  I believe I spelled
daemon wrong but whatever, I found that snippet in the FreeBSD sources so
someone has a sense of humor and kept my comment.
