"Well, Job, did you know your system was encrypting your
communications automatically?"
"Well, I remember the sysop said something about that when
we installed the workstation.."
"And you claim that you hadn't realized that conspiracy to import ferrets
into California was a felony?"
"Well, no, we were just planning on moving there, and
talking about taking our pets with us"
"Are you aware that more than 2 ferrets constitutes an
arsenal?"
