Student Writes man Page

One of my students wrote this on a piece of paper and set it on the counter in our break room, here at Guru Labs. He also placed four boxes of the items refernced in this "man page" on the counter.

$ man eatgirlscoutcookies

NAM

SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION
     [Two other students from Sweden, who were here last week]
     never had Girl Scout Cookies, so I just had to buy a
     samling of the best for them. Now that they have gone
     back to Sweden, I cannot eat them all by myself, so
     please, enjoy!

     P.S. I got kinda bored last night after reading man
     pages :).
