665.0. "Parting lines" by COOKIE::DEVINE (Bob Devine, CXN) Wed May 10 1989 18:58

    I'm sure everyone has heard a smart-alecky line from
    someone who is leaving or wants somebody to leave.
    
    "Hi ho Silver, away!" was the Lone Ranger's tag line
    when he rode off into the sunset while "Put an egg in
    your shoe and beat it!" is an example of the second.
    
    What other lines have you heard?

665.21don't ask me about my security program...COOKIE::DEVINEBob Devine, CXNThu May 18 1989 18:3715
    Here's a parting line pun I worked into a computer program:
    
    My previous employer to Digital was a small start-up company
    called ViaNetix.  We even reached a high of 20 people before
    being sold to a larger company!  We made PC networks.  I designed
    the stuff to start and stop everything (as well as other stuff).
    Because of the company name all of the products' names started
    with the prefix "via-" as in ViaNet, ViaServer, etc.
    
    So there I was on yet another late night cursing the brain-damage
    of MS-DOS and working on my code to cleanly shut down the network
    and remove such fun things as interrupt vector chaining when I
    decided to call my shutdown program --
