Because it is!

The fourth little pig is a sysadmin, so builds a house of gaffer tape
and string. The wolf laughs and laughs at this ludicrously inelegant
and ill-presented non-design, and huffs and puffs and huffs and puffs
and huffs and puffs until some string comes loose and pulls some
gaffer tape with it, which proceeds to wrap itself around the wolf,
who struggles until it encases him and he suffocates. The fourth
little pig wanders out, put some fresh gaffer over the bit that came
off and puts the wolf's body next to the rubbish bins for collection.

Moral: Heed whatever friend BOFH says, including what he doesn't say.
