[rec.humor.funny] The two modes of vi.

curt@cynic.wimsey.bc.ca (Curt J. Sampson) (05/10/91)

This is original.

I have a new user on my system, and I was trying to teach him to use
vi.  He had the manual pages, but I suspected that he might have
"skimmed" them, to put it politely.  My suspicions were confirmed when
I asked him, "Do you know the difference between the two modes of vi?"

He replied, "Yeah.  One beeps a lot and the other doesn't."
