Also along teh same lines is

Warning
This machine is subject to breakdowns
during periods of critical need.
A special circuit in the machine called a critical detector
senses the operator's emotional state in terms of how
desperate he or she is to use the machine. The critical
detector then creates a malfunction proportional to the
desperation of the operator. Threatening the machine with
violence only aggravates the situation. Likewise attempts
to use another machine may cause it to also malfunction.
They belong to the same union. Keep cool and say nice
things to the machine.
