A man went to his doctor and told him that he wanted to be a programmer. The doctor said, "Okay, but I must warn you, we're going to have to remove half your brain." The man agreed to this, and he was booked for surgery.

After coming to after surgery, the doctor was standing by the patient with a solemn look of apology on his face. The patient asked how the surgery went. The doctor replied, "There was a slight problem with the operation. We accidentally removed 3/4's of your brain instead of 1/2."

The patient, with a look of horror, stammered, "Oh no, you... you don't mean..."

"Yes sir. I'm afraid you are now a sysop."
