I always thought Satan would be more like Larry than Bill, even if only 'cos Larry has a beard and is never seen without an immaculate suit. And he's flyin' jet fighters while Bill is riding a golf cart.

I dunno what it's like in the US, but over here Oracle have great catering. They know just how to tempt me!

Oracle Sales: "Have another slice of pecan pie?" GRH: "Thanks! How much did you say the license was? I'll get my pen..." Oracle Sales: "Just use my quill. Yes, the one with the red ink..."
