They just did one of those here, but it was more related to net use than anything.

"And how many bedrooms do you have?" : "Two"
"How many people reside here?" : "Just me"
"How many internet lines do you have?" : "Just the one"
"How many computers do you have" : "Seven"
"I'm sorry.. How many computers do you have??" : "Seven"
"Uhhhh.. how many are connected to the internet line?" : "Seven"
"But thats... uhh.. how often are they turned on?" : "24/7"
"You mean all the time?" : "Yes"
"Uhh thanks for your time"

2 days later they sent the poor guy back with his supervisor to run through it all again as they 
thought he'd been smoking something..

Oh.. and they are all running Debian :) (Is there any other distribution?)
Or as I say to the linux user group over here..
"I run god's own distribution", which tends to rub the Muslims and Hindus up the wrong way I'm told 
as Allah certainly has not hit the age of PC's yet :) (But then I'm just that kinda guy)
