If you spit on it in just the right spot, you will have created a brick-wall
- an oft underappreciated network device that both livens the décor of any
datacenter and obviates the need for most security practices.

Feel free to hire that guy flipping burgers at McD's to do your

the burger flipper would be the obvious choice, young and eager to 
learn.

The choice is obvious only as long as you ignore the fact that eager to 
learn also means eager to make mistakes.  After all, isn't trying (and 
failing) the most effective method of learning?
