Tyrone enters the doughnut shop and asks for a dozen doughnuts.

The clerk gives him a box of twelve and Tyrone says: I asked for 
a fucking dozen!

The clerk knows he has yet another idiot on his hands

Nope.  The OS (in this case GNU/Linux) doesn't do a goddamned fucking
thing.

The OS (i.e. kernel) passes control to the distro which then does all
of the configuration.

Without his distro, Tyrone would be stuck in the year 2025 BCE.

Oh wait.

Never mind.

Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!

Tyrone should look up the word "idiot."

The digital computer cannot do a goddamned fucking thing unless it is
given a set of instructions, i.e. a program.

The provider of the program can be a distro or it can be the individual
user.

But a provider must exist or else one can only dream upon a brick.

Of course Tyrone cannot distinguish his dreams from reality.

Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!

But relying upon "automation" makes Tyrone an automaton.

Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!

He'll have to look that one up.
