That's where things like expected lifetime come in.

I'm late to the party, but, as someone who regularly has to endure (and sometimes write or review) man pages, the comic about the Nightmare man page of Hell is still making me laugh.

This one reminds me of those stories of how the cops would send out fake "You've won money" letters to people with arrest warrants. When they showed up to the location where they were promised payment, they'd be taken into custody.

ROFL, yeah. It wasn't up when I first viewed the comic. "Y'all got trolled."

It's a Schmuck Bait and a horrible pun. The Alt Text is yet another pun. While not very amusing, this one was pretty funny.

[up][up] That's what I thought at first, but apparently no:

Phishing is the attempt to acquire sensitive information such as (...), often for malicious reasons, by masquerading as a trustworthy entity in an electronic communication.

So it'd be phishing if he'd filled out the application for a "phishing license"?

For some reason this reminded me of a famous scene in the Deadpool film.

There must be some way to make things sound vulgar with that trick, although in my brief perusal of words with internal 'v's, I didn't come across any.

Spell 'v' as 'f', add some hard 'k'-s, and you'll have the accent of Herr Doktor. Well, German accent, at any rate.
