You were asking the right question in the wrong way...

bash

$ [ Where is Waldo?
missing `]'

$ ^How did the ^gender reassignment operation go?
substitution failed

$ %blow
no such job

$ PATH=pretending! /usr/bin/which sense
no sense in pretending!

$ \(-
(-: command not found


tcsh

% "How would you rate the famous politician's incompetence?
Unmatched ".

I found these (again) at http://www-users.cs.york.ac.uk/susan/joke/ 
unix.htm -- I remember them working better on Solaris and Irix, which  
came with proper Bourne shells...

Aaah, fun.

R.
