Eunichs (Unix?)

The Sultans eunich maker hired an apprentice and they were on their way to create some new eunichs.
How do you make a eunich? enquired the apprentice. Simple, replied the master, you sit them on this special stool with a hole in the middle and when the family jewels drop through you take these two bricks and bang them together from either side. The apprentice cringed and said, but doesn't that hurt?. Only if you get your thumbs caught was the reply.

Crikey Iain, I hope you not talking from personal experience!cringe cringe!
