I kinda like the version my local Fidonet BBS uses in it's "Rules" posting.

Excerpt:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Windows is not an operating system unless you believe it
is one, in which case it IS an operating system. Case closed, no
appeals.

2a. If you believe that Windows 9x runs on top of DOS, raise
your hand. Okay, now put it down.

b. If you believe that Windows 9x runs under DOS, raise your
hand. Okay, now put it down.

c. If you believe that Windows 9x runs a DOS emulator, raise your
hand. Okay, now put it down.

d. If you believe that Windows 9x runs some DOS code,
raise your hand. Okay, now put it down.

e. If you believe that Windows 9x runs DOS first, and then
takes over once the GUI is loaded, raise your hand. Okay, now
put it down.

f. If you believe that Windows 9x runs in a parallel
universe presided over by Og, Destroyer of Worlds, who controls
our dreams and will not rest until he has dominion over both the
Dark Domain and the Bright Domain, raise your hand. Okay, now
put it down.

Now that we've settled that, let's move on, shall we?
