IIRC something like "unknown error on /dev/lp0: on fire, eh?". It used
to happen if my Epson inkjet ran out of ink.

I also liked the NFS server error "attempt to connect from insecure
port. Psychoanalysis suggested". As it was generally AIX clients which
provoked this error, the message wasn't far off.
