Hot spare.
If you look at the photo x1000 magnification you'll see by the
reflection in his pupils the one on the left is playing Everquest.
I'd say that the PFY is the most critical piece of network
infrastructure to maintain a hot spare. They are prone to chewing off
their limbs above the shackles and escaping to find alcohol. (if
anyone's sucessfully implemented Beer-over-IP, please let me know. Once
I get that in place I can weld those doors shut and stop these little
'escapades').
