I've always wondered if this is why the BSD docs are so much easier to
understand than the Linux ones.  As the saying goes, two things came
from Berkeley, LSD and BSD.  One pictures one coder showing another a
man page, and the second one saying, after exhaling a cloud of smoke,
"Oh man, like, I can't figure out what you're talking about.  Make it
simple, I'm too buzzed to concentrate."  :)

Spike: Oh, sod the spell. Your friends are in the factory. I'm 
really glad I came here, you know? I've been all wrongheaded 
about this. weepin', crawlin', blamin' everybody else. I want 
Dru back. I've just gotta be the man I was, The man She loved. 
I'm going to do what I should have done in the first place-- I'll
 find here, wherever she is, tie her up, torture her until she 
likes me again.
