Seeding Mars

The set-up for yesterday's SMBC:
The punchline:
The aftercomic:
The mouseover title: "Unfortunately, the breeding population of Mars was entirely sysadmins, resulting in dangerous founder effects. On the plus side, their revolution against Earth will be entirely passive-aggressive."
Not much linguistic content, and promotes unfair stereotypes of sysadmins. But it's funny enough to include.

Can confirm. My roommate is a sysadmin.
True story, with arguably (meta-?)linguistic content. It's called "The Programmer."
(In a middle-eastern restaurant)
Me: Do you like eggplant?
Roomie: Yes
(I order a baba-ghanoush. Roomie eats it and says it's good. Then he goes into the bathroom and audibly throws up. Returns to the table with his usual smile.)
Me: What's wrong?
Roomie: Nothing's wrong.
Me: But you just threw up?
Roomie: Yes.
Me: Why did you just throw up?
Roomie: It was the eggplant. Eggplant always makes me throw up.
Me: I thought you said you liked eggplant.
Roomie: I do. But you didn't ask if it always makes me throw up.
