At McMurdo, we had the "Network Tutor", a square-cut 24"-long, hunk of hardwood
with a rough handle that was designed to beat the black snowy crud off the
bottoms of trucks before driving on the pristine white snow road to the
airfield
(since the black crud would absorb solar radiation and melt potholes).
When ever a Luser would call with a particularly inane question (it had to
be a _good_ one, mind you), we would suggest to the dispatching technician
that perhaps some Network Tutoring was in order.
