Help desk pilot fish working at a military base takes one last call before his lunch break.
User: "I have a silly question. I can't access the online ordering Web site for the Subway here on base."
Fish: Did it ever work?
User: "It worked yesterday. I want to know if network security is blocking the Web site."
Fish: (thinks) We have all kinds of information to protect from people who make sandwiches ...
User: "The base even sent an e-mail out suggesting we use it for faster service. Why would they block it?"
Fish: Why don't you just go in and order inside, since you have to pick it up anyway?
User: "Then you smell like a sub sandwich all day. It gets in your hair and everything, like going into a bar and smelling like smoke. I like to order it online and then pick it up at the drive through."
