Oli: "I want to delete this file."

Vista: "Do you really want to delete this file?"

Oli: "(No, i just asked to annoy you...) Yes i want."

Vista: "You need special rights to delete this file."

Oli: "Well, whatever..."

Vista: "Do you want to grant these special rights?"

Oli: "Yes, i want."

Vista: "You can't have these rights. Sorry, you can't delete this file."

Oli goes nuts and kills computer.
