Well, I learned something about UNIX from this, but not
what the author intended.  It turns out "yes" is also a
UNIX command.

Costello:  Hey, Abbott, is there a command to be repetitively
affirmative?

Abbott:  Yes.

Costello:  What is it?

Abbott:  No.  Yes!


Or how about ...


Costello:  There is a command to return exit status zero.

Abbott:  True.

Costello:  Then there must be a command to return exit status one.

Abbott:  False.


etc.
