I felt the same way when I reached the end of the Jargon File.  I tried asking
"more jargon.txt", which was ignored of course because there was no more
Jargon File, so I asked again "more jargon.txt", which caused my server and
the orphans sitting at the table with me to spontaneously erupt into singing
"Oliver, Oliver -- he will rue the day somebody called him Oliver!"
